Option-click usually works. Also, it depends on how the person codes the download page. Some code download links so that they work directly with a "normal" click for both Macs and PCs. Some code the link where it will work with a normal click on a PC and require a right-click on a Mac (and vice versa ... my iDisk filesharing page works with a left-click on Macs but requires a right-click with a PC).

Option-Click should fix you up in either case.
