Hi Dimitri and Henk,

Sorry to have forgotten to change the subject-line.  Below is my

I have been using "wget" successfully for the same purpose for at
least 2 years now.  It pulls everything you tell it to from the
specified website.  It's easy if everything on the website falls under
one directory/folder.  If not, then you have to specify the "-p"
option (exluding quotes) for perks (or those files that are lying
outside of the directory tree).  In addition, you can additionally
specify what other directories (-i) you would like wget to search for
related files and what (directories) _not_ to search (-e).  It comes
built in with Fedora Core3 at least and, if I recall correctly, all
previous versions of RedHat.  I am sure it is in Ubuntu as well.  If
not then you can use your favorite install-n-download tool to get it.
