Not sure I completely understand what you mean by "I have to guess which 
of them is a file and which is a directory." When I open any location in 
downloads.digium.com in either firefox or konqueror I can see that 
directories have a "/" after their name and also use a folder icon.

That aside, I don't care for the usage of the redirect scripts either. I 
used to be able right-click and copy the URL and paste it into wget 
(browse on one machine and download on another). You can still type the 
"correct" URL into wget and perform the download, but that's sooo  many 
more keystrokes. Lynx doesn't seem to work at all and with Links I have 
to answer "Accept" to "Java script is attempting to to go URL" every 
time I select a link. Drag and drop copying with Konquerer doesn't work 
either.
