Define what you want to be a download, and what you want to go over the fiber link.
Policy based routing is probably what you are looking for. With that being said however, if you expect it to be able to distinguish the difference between someone downloading a web page or an ISO file via HTTP, it won’t and can’t. They both use the same protocol and are exactly the same thing as far as the router is concerned.
You can however with policy based routing classify different kinds of traffic, such as HTTP, SMTP, etc. and based off of those connections decide what link they will use to connect. If you make the rules specific enough you can define that connections made to certain IP addresses use a specific link.
1.) Figure out what IP addresses belong to google/yahoo. NSLookup will get you some of them.
2.) Add these IP addresses to an address list.
3.) In firewall mangle mark connections going to that address list in prerouting.
4.) Mark for routing based off of the connection mark in the previous step to send it out of the link you want.
