Short answer: Give the URL as the first command-line argument to K95 or
C-Kermit (of recent vintage). It might trick you and download the file
before you know anything has happened (well, not with the file you're
referencing, which is rather large).
Depending on the OS, you might also be able to configure Kermit as the
helper application for Kermit URLs. (Ditto for FTP, Telnet, and some
others.)
