ok, I have had no luck at ALL.
I want to grab the packages in this (http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/software/kde/stable/3.5/contrib/Slackware/10.2) directory. Too bad I can't get wget to grab 'em.
Help please. I've tried almost everything. I want to grab them all in one swift command. :(
I know it's possible, just set a filename and a directory name match, both of which you can find on wget's manpage. You also want to use -r for recursive, obviously. I'd figure it out, since I've done that before, but I don't have time right now.
I played around with practically every argument there was and to no avail.
I'll try again later.
wget -r http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/software/kde/stable/3.5/contrib/Slackware/10.2/

No, that'll download the entire site, mirror.cc.columbia.edu.
I have a little time, I'll see if I can figure it out.
You're right, that's a tricky problem. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to just save the filenames and script it in Perl or Bash or something.
But an easy workaround is this command:
$ ncftpget mirror.cc.columbia.edu /tmp /pub/software/kde/stable/3.5/contrib/Slackware/10.2/*.tgz
I know that's cheating, but eh? :)
Awesome. iago for the win.
