Mac OS X

In Safari, you can download a webpage or file from a server quickly by copying and pasting the URL into its Downloads window. You can also drag URLs.

You can also press option+return to force safari to download the url too. You tip and the option+return is very handy if you don't have quicktime pro and you want to save movies.

Option click on any link, and it will download the file on the other end of that link, be it an html page, dmg, zip... whatever.

You can use Download Manager

You can use Download Manager to download movies that are "locked" (you save them from Safari and they end up as 4K files on your HD). Works very well for me.

you can paste multiple urls at once, as long as they are seperated by a new line (haven't tried spaces, comma's, etc..)

Pop open the "Activity" window to locate specific elements of any page, click to highlight line, copy, and paste into the "Download" window to download.
