As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

In Firefox there is a plugin called "download them all" which we used
successfully to get all the files via http.
Then you need to do the unzip thing, select the files you need, and ftp
them to the IFS on your IBM I.

Oberholtzer's recent notes on this subject are also good:
*********************************************
You'll have to download at least six DVD images (BASE plus the five
GROUPx_xx DVDs) and any individual software products that are not on the
standard media set.
Most of them will be zip files, so unzip them and use FTP to move them
to the IFS, ensuring BIN transfer.
You do not have to change the names of any of them, unless you want to
burn your own physical media, then most of the software won't deal with
a UDF extension. Change it to ISO.
When loading the image catalog the easy way is to get the IFS populated.
Then create your image catalog, I always call mine V7R3LPP. Then use
the API to fill the image catalog. (no typing those really long names
into the command line)
Call QVIOFIMG PARM('V7R3LPP' '*ALL' 0)
The zero at the end is a return code from the API. The '*ALL' must be
in upper case, don't know why but it only works that way. Clearly
substitute the name of your image catalog where I put mine.
Verification will not work until you go through option 5 of the GO
LICPGM menu and load and agree to all the software agreements.

OK, I'm fed up trying to download v7r3 from the IBM Entitled Software Site.
All I can successfully get is the Base file (includes IBASE, B GROUP1
01, B GROUP 1 02, etc).
I've been doing this for more than a week and it always ends up with...
Error: Bad file - please re-download
No matter which file I'm trying to download.
Using Download Director
How does anyone get through this mountain of downloads?
