I think Option-click works, but usually I just click and hold on
the link...a pop-up menu appears and I just scroll down to the
'Save this link as...' option and it brings up a dialog box and
you go through the normal procedure to download the file from 
there.  But these days, I use a program called Monica...it allows
me to drag the link from Netscape's window into it's window and
it builds a queue of things to download.  When I'm down browsing
I can just go to Monica and have it download all stuff I wanted
to download earlier...don't have to waste the time while browsing.
Monica also always does 8-bit transfers, or at least the docs say
that it tries or something like that.
