1) WGET would be a nice and handy option

wget --no-parent -cbkr ftp://ftp.domain.com/path/to/derectory/

The same should work for HTTP also. See the -c option is for resumes, -b 
for pushing the process to background, -k for convert links for local 
viewing, and -r for recursive retrieval
--no-parent prevents the -r option from going upward a directory tree.  
There -l <num> to say "recurse into <num levels only>".  In HTTP there's 
a follow links option, but I'd like you to find that out from the manual 
($man wget) - there are pretty good examples

2) LFTP
    checkout the manual.  There's mirror command. 

3) I'd suggest that you check if  RSYNC  can be used or not.

If you are afraid of command line, Use the mouse to findout what's under 
the <internet menu>

And lastly, I hope you had your share of googling.

Thanks
Binulal
