on quakeiii.com, they have files for download, but it's painfully slow and
they make it even slower by requiring 2 clicks instead of 1.   they don't
have an ftp site, and the files are obtained by some kind of cgi interface.

i tried:

        wget -r http://www.quakeiii.com/files/ftp.cgi?dir=maps
        wget -r http://www.quakeiii.com/files/file.cgi?file=maps

which doesn't work, and i suppose it shouldn't since it's expecting
arguments to a cgi program, not URLS, and wget only gets URLS.

any suggestions on how i can download these things?  it's a major annoyance.
30 seconds of waiting and clicking to 5 seconds of actual download time leaves
me twiddling my thumbs for quite a while.  there's quite a few files.

any suggestions on how i can automate this process?
