Thank you Mark.

After looking into the source page containing all the links, and saw how the
URL of each file to download is constructed, I built and ran the 
following script
which worked like a charm.
PS: The first URL given to wget came to me in an email message sent to me by
yousendit.com because the uploader has me in his distribution list on 
yousendit.com.

#!/bin/bash
wget -c -O ysi.txt 
'https://www.yousendit.com/dl?phi_action=app/orchestrateDownload&rurl=https........etc'
grep  'directDownload?'  ysi.txt | sed  -e 
's/.*directDownload?/https:\/\/www.yousendit.com\/directDownload?/' -e  
's/=bas.*$/=bas/' | sort | uniq > urls   # so that I can examine this 
file in case my sed script has an error
while read url; do
wget -c -ndH "$url"
done < urls

Thanx for the inspiration Mark.
