i believe the following will work (because i've done something similar in the past).
agree the licence; bookmark the URL for the resulting download page;
continue to download all you need from saved URL,
using something that supports HTTP/1.1 byte-ranges,
whether automated or not,
until done.
if the download URL didn't have a reasonable lifetime it would be an obstruction,
but as it is, it should last for a good few days.

I believe that many people would appreciate if it were ever possible to
download the distribution image directly (from some non-restricted FTP or
web area). It would be nice to be able to download it with an automated
downloading tool while being (for instance) asleep.
I consider the procedure of agreeing with the licence terms merely a
cosmetic step (and a big obstruction). Without it, the life would be so
nice...
