you can use this 

elements with attributes that start with [attr^=value],end with [attr$=value],contain the value [attr*=value] e.g. [href*=/path/]

you want to get the links containing certain word use this 

org.jsoup.select.Elements links = doc.select("[href*=download]");

See here for the selector syntax.

You can test for the text within a node with :contains, e.g. Element link = doc.select("a:contains(Download)").first();. If you want you can use :matches for regex.

You get the link address via the attr method, e.g. String linkaddress = link.attr("href");.
