Download SUSE LINUX 8.0

Hi,

I am in the process of downloading the SUSE Linux 8.0.

If I do it file by file from an FTP server, that would take for ever because there are many many files and directories.

My question is: Is there a way that I can download all the files and directories that are under a specific directory.

Like this directory in specific:

ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/li.../suse/i386/8.0

Is there a way to download all the files in on step?

I have a DSL connection, therefore the zize of the download is not a problem.

Thanks.

Sam.

ncftp can do this (and there is *gasp* a Windows compile of it)

"get -r" (-r = recursive)

Of course, it's easier to a) buy the silly CDs or b) download a distribution that distributes downloadable ISO-CD images.

Also I believe that you can use mget as well using ncftp:

ex.

mget *.*

this should download everything in the directory you are in.
