Using an ftp client has the added advantage -most of them anyway- that
if your connection is interrupted during a download your can resume
the download from the point at which it was interrupted instead of
starting over from scratch, which can be quite significant when
downloading files the size of these manuals.  SmartFTP is another good
one, free for personal use.  All you really need to download for all
the manuals except the 201 is the Program folder.  Get Acrobat reader
from adobe.com and  Flash from macromedia.com if you don't already
have them.  Then find the file matrix.htm or matrix6.htm, depending on
the specific manual.  Make a shortcut to that file, rename it for
identification purposes, and put it in a convenient place (like your
desktop) and use the shortcut to take you directly to model selection
in the manual(s) w/o having to wade thru the usual startup nonsense. 
Expect the downloads to take quite a number of hours depending on the
speed of the server and/or your own connection; this shouldn't however
preclude using your machine for other purposes.
