I agree. Both http and https downloads could be supported by using relative paths in the html a tags:

<a href="/Software/$$$">

This should work as the site host is msp.ucsd.edu <http://msp.ucsd.edu/> and the relative path would be append:

http or https + :// + msp.ucsd.edu <http://msp.ucsd.edu/> + /Software/$$$

may be the safer way to allow links to work on both types of connections (http and https) is to give relative URLs (stripping 'http://msp.ucsd.edu <http://msp.ucsd.edu/>')
