But anyway, you have two choices : find an iso image. This is a single file holding the whole CD. Easy to take. Or you can download all the directory structure. To do this, I think the most efficient and easy way would be to use an ftp client (such as [I think] PROftp) or use wget. In both cases, the program will recreate itself the directory structure.
