There is an equivalent of wget for windows systems. You basically drop
the URL http://pug.komkon.org/02may/ (for this months thing) into it.
Ask it to fetch everything from it recursively but not to span domains
or ascend directory structure (so it wont goto
http://pug.komkon.org/anyonther_link_not_starting_with_02may ). You can
make it accept only html and jpg files (or only jpg files if you dont
want to see the rest of picture info) etc.

Having said that there is a program for your needs, I dont remember what
it was called :) I think there are a couple of them. I used it long time
ago while doing internship and being forced to use windows based
machine. It was pretty good and free (or was there a trial period?)
although still not as versatile as wget :)

Ofcourse there is a windows executable version of wget itself :)(see
http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/wgetwin.html )  But it runs only from
the command prompt (ie no gui unless it changed since i last used it on
windows 2 yrs ago) which some find bothersome while others desire.

There is another program called cURL (again has windows version as well
-- http://curl.haxx.se/ ) which has even more features than wget. I
havent used if much tho.

cheers,
