iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > {Media Kind} > Not on this computer > Download all.
Why do you need to do this? If your media is on another computer or an iPod/iOS device there are faster ways. If your library has become corrupt the media may still be there and it might be possible to restore/repair the library.

I need to do this because my Apple computer containing all of the music is too old to download the new ITunes software. How do I do this?
What about non-purchased stuff that is now in the cloud as you are using match? I'm fed-up with slow streaming of my own effing music which Apple assured me would be better in the cloud. It isn't, as I know have buffering issues. So I want to get everything BACK on my computer. Is there a simple solution? (I'm also suspicious that Apple has lost some of my music when I first started match. Sadly with the amount of music I have this is difficult to check).
If your music went cloudy when you updated iTunes see Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash. Unless you actively delete them subscribing to iTunes Match should not alter your locally stored files.
As I understand it iTunes Match acts a bit like an extension of the iTunes in the Cloud feature that gives access to past purchases from any additional computer or iOS device. It shouldn't really be treated as an alternative to local storage and backup of your content, but as an adjunct to it. When you redownload matched content from iTunes Match you get the iTunes Store's versions of those tracks which, in some cases, may not fully match your original, either in metadata or audio content.
