How do you download? Are you using FastSCP or WinSCP?
If you are not using any of that, I would recommend using FastSCP for this ...
You will need to enable SSH on ESXi. Use this guide to enable it

Then download FASTSCP from Veeam site (www.veeam.com) its free. Here is the document on it. http://www.veeam.com/datas heets/fast scp_datash eet.pdf
Then you can use this tool to backup your VM's.
