If you open the web page that has the click to click and right-click on it an choose "Copy Location", then you will have the download link in your clipboard. Then you can use a command somewhat like the following to do the actual downloading in a script:
tell application "Finder" to open location "http://kaydell.us";
replace: "http://kaydell.us"; with the URL in your clipboard.
Does that work for you?
