You can build a custom action
You can build a custom action for VBO. Its pretty simple. you could refer to one of the built-in actions in the VBO module for reference. (ex: delete.action.inc )
Also , you mentioned that you want to download nodes?
Are you referring to downloading the nodes' content as a PDF or sth? Or do you have attachments to those nodes, which you wish to zip and download,..
if you are looking to downloading node's textual content as PDF, you should be looking into how the print module implements the conversion with TCPDF or any library.

elms feature pack
elms feature pack (elms_content_export) has a Views bonus pack type that dumps book structures to XML. It uses Views + Views bonus pack (called http://drupal.org/project/views_data_export in D7) + UUID module. While the export routine was made for book structures in drupal 6 the code works in D7 natively and since it's just a view you can tweak it to remove the UUIDs that you don't need. Store a bunch of nodes as an XML download
On the import side there's Feeds + http://drupal.org/project/feeds_node_helper + http://drupal.org/project/feeds_xpathparser to pull in XML feeds correctly. elms_content_import is the same thing and same criteria as above apply (D6 but technique works in D7).
