How can I download a bunch of files from an http site?

Is there an easier way than clicking on each one?

And if it could get them all recursively that would be nice.

TIA

If this is a site that simply lists the files and little else, open nautilus, copy and paste the address into the nautilus location bar, and replace http:// with ftp://. This works on a lot of sites, like mirrors.kernel.org etc, of course they have to have FTP set up.

I use the FlashGot extension for Firefox. Works great, and ties into your favorite downloader automatically, i.e. Wget, Curl, KGet, etc.. just highlight the whole page of links, and right click --> Flashget.

I've never tried 'recursing' with it -- if you mean downloading whole folders -- but it may do that.. Let us know if it does, if you try it.
