Hi Jeff,

In addition to using wget from the command line of Terminal, as Greg and Jon 
suggested, there's a Mac App Store app named SiteSucker that works through a 
GUI interface.  It's $4.99, but it used to be free up till a year ago, so I had 
the opportunity to try SiteSucker out with VoiceOver when I answered a question 
about web site downloaders a few years ago on the Mac-access list.  A quick run 
through of the current app did not show any accessibility issues (under the 
latest version of Mavericks).  In fact, at the time I first tried this app, the 
only change I made to my default VoiceOver settings was to change my Navigation 
to have "Mouse pointer" set to "Follows VoiceOver cursor" instead of "Ignores 
VoiceOver Cursor" to click "Settings" in the app's toolbar.  That's not 
necessary now,

Here's the Mac App Store URL for SiteSucker:
• SiteSucker by Rick Cranisky ($4.99) 
https://itunes.apple.com/app/sitesucker/id442168834?mt=12

The app is localized in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and 
Spanish, but the SiteSucker Manual is only available in English, French, and 
Portuguese.  Here's the URL for the User Manual in English (which will display 
in Safari Reader with Command-Shift-r):
http://ricks-apps.com/osx/sitesucker/archive/2.x/2.6.x/2.6/manuals/en/index.html

Note that for the web site user guide, I route my VoiceOver cursor to each of 
the main links in the list of  three items ("Overview", "Settings", and 
"Advanced Topics"), with VO-Command-F5, and then VO-Right to navigate to the 
level 2 list of items under that link.

SiteSucker is also Apple Scriptable, with information and samples available 
from this URL:
http://ricks-apps.com/osx/sitesucker/scripts.html

The main comments are that there are a lot of customizable options, and you 
probably don't want to pull down every file on the site.  An old tip from the 
MacUpdate site suggested that you might want to pay attention to limiting the 
Settings > General > Path Constraint  pop-up menu options if you want to only 
pull down a subset of the files.
