Can't you open up the developer tools use a css query to select all the buttons, and send a click event to them all?

Yes, it's doable in a one liner, but then you get a warning of your browser, then 100 windows asking to confirm to save the file, it still is terrible UX. And form my experience, most users are not aware of the dev console.

For others that may be interested by the data you get, it is quite detailed, I would recommend to use VisiData that make it really easy to navigate inside zip files and csv the files inside (most often a single file).

Yes, most commenters on HN could could, but for the general public, it's not a great interface.
