If I copy and paste it into my browser, a file still downloads.

@alistaire, you're right. I do need to log in to get this information. Now I understand that RCurl won't work without the login. They have some short instructions how to download all the files using Unix. Looks like I will probably have to contact them to see if there is a way around it since I am not a Unix user.
