I am not sure you can. You can try and go to http://www.dropbox.com/links and click on the three dots next to the file. That will let you, possibly, alter settings to 'Can View'.
If not, however, you need to follow the links Rich already gave and send new ones without a log on requirement. Note they probably will still need to X out of a log on screen. You could also try editing the links to force a download.
