Hey Phred, here's how you do it in Opera!!

Get to the page that has all the "downloadable" linked files ( e.g.
links to pdf docs)

TYpe CTRL-J

The new special page that pops up has all the links listed from the
prev page. You can refine this list by ( for example) typing ".pdf" in
the search field that is available. Only the links with .pdf will
remain in the window pane. Select some or all of the links and right
click. Then choose "Quick download" to save all the linked files to
your default download directory. Or choose "Save as" and you will be
presented with a download prompt for each downloadable linked file.

Once you get used to it, the process is very fast.
