Are these files organized within various subfolders? If yes, you can download each one of them separately by hovering over them and hitting on the "Download" button with the downward arrow.

      Hmm, I see. Can you try to download these subfolders separately and let me know if that works? 

       

      As for the rest of the files, is it possible to ask the owner to organize them into smaller subfolders?
