Answer 1

pamie perhaps

P.A.M.I.E. - stands for Python Automated Module For I.E.

Pamie's main use is for testing web sites by which you automate the Internet Explorer client using the Pamie scripting language. PAMIE is not a record playback engine!

Pamie allows you to automate I.E. by manipulating I.E.'s Document Object Model via COM. This Free tool is for use by Quality Assurance Engineers and Developers.

Answer 2

I have something like that (an awful 3rd part application with lots of weird dotnet 'ajax' controls), and I use iMacros plugin for Firefox to do some automation. But I'm doing batch inserts, not downloads.

You can try record, edit and replay the inputs sent thru a VNC session. Look at something like http://code.google.com/p/python-vnc-viewer/ for inspiration.
