If you mean content that is uploaded to the uploads directory, it is best to do without plugin. Compress the folder, and just download it. You can do it easily from the cPanel.

don't use cpanel. just direct admin.

Well you should make an exception.

If you have a lot of images, a plugin may be rather inefficient. An easier, MUCH faster method, is to simply use "tar" from the command line.

To pack it:

tar -cpf tarfilename.tar ./folder-to-tar

To unpack it:

tar -xpf tarfilename.tar

Note, the above will create a single file archive of all files and folders in the specified folder, recursively. Additionally, it will preserve file and folder permissions. This is especially helpful when doing it from root and sftp'ing from one server to another.
