[c-nsp] "Enhanced" download procedure

[Tassos Chatzithomaoglou]

I have already given feedback quite a few times regarding my download experience (generally i don't like the idea of 
"using" my account team for obvious things).

I welcome this new kind of downloader, but as i have wondered back then 
(http://marc.info/?l=cisco-nsp&m=124712980900460&w=2) this should be made optional for all those cli-hardcore users.
