You can get to the SDA archive on Doom2.net through HTML as well as FTP. I find HTTP faster and more reliable for (small) individual files.
What I usually do is visit the DSDA, open the wad specific page and the archive on the appropiate letter range to download the files I want to watch (or the main archive directory list and from there I open the specific alphabetical sections I need according to the zip names.) Pretty much like Donce said. I try to avoid 3DDownloads unless it's necessary because of the long-ass queue.
When looking for a specific demo listed on a wad page at the DSDA proper just get the zip files belonging to the author of the demo (from the Doom2.net archive); sometimes there's only one, sometimes it's obviously in a certain zip, and sometimes it's not clear but it's always relatively small files anyway. And as long as you use 3DDownloads only when necessary, you'll get them quickly.
Also, keep in mind you can always use the /idgames Database search or DoomSearch if the link to the wad doesn't work, leads to a directory, or is too slow.
