If you don't want to include node with Must In Structure = False and its children for download operation, deselect the Implicitly Include Unrequired Children in the Preferences page. This will stop the expansion of the nodes with Must In Structure = False and these nodes will not be included in the structure for download. To include these nodes, you have to manually select them in the structure. Only the required children in the structure with Must In Structure = False are selected automatically. If the node is shared in the structure and is selected for a particular node, it will be included for download structure even if Must In Structure = False for node
