Hi Michael, I just wanted to note that if you install the downloadthemall plugin for firefox, and open downloadthemall on the download page, you have an option to download archive files. These are .zip, .gzip. tar files, and it provides the functionality you're looking for. Otherwise, you could download the page with python and use a regex to pull out all the relevant links. Heck, I imagine you could download the page with wget and use grep to find the ftp:\\ prefix and have just about all of them.
