This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

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.
