For selecting single files, I would agree that checkboxes are nicer, but the 
whole idea of the "list all links" feature is that you select a whole batch 
of files at once, so that you don't have to click all links manually...

A compromise would be to keep the checkboxes, but still allow multi-selection. 
Then only an action "check selected" and possible "uncheck selected" would be 
needed.

What do you think?

Cheers,
