What is the best/latest/most recommended tool to download a directory over http ? rsync does'nt support HTTP. The tool has to read the index.html file.

There is zsync, although this is'nt working for me. Any recommendations ?

An example would be that I would want to download all of the RPM files within here [without using yum] but I don't want to specify each individual filename, to a local folder.

http://yum.mariadb.org/5.5.34/centos6-amd64/rpms/

Because I hate wget, is there any other recommended tool for HTTP mirroring ?

I do know that this works, but there must be an easier tool to use.
wget -A.rpm -l0 -r --no-parent http://yum.mariadb.org/5.5.34/centos6-amd64/rpms

Why would you want to use something like HTTrack when you can haz wget?..

I was just curious to learn of any new tool that may perform the same task, but is a little easier to use.

I did'nt know that HTTrack existed under Linux, that is very handy, thank you !

Maybe start by telling us what's hard about wget? I mean it comes with a manual, its fast and it doesn't need all the QT, wxWidgets and other libraries a GUI app needs...
