That site doesn't exist.  I can only assume you mean
`http://www.geekbabe.com/kim'.

The site has a simple anti-leech protection; it checks the user-agent
of the browser.  It took me three seconds to defeat it, like this:

    wget --user-agent "Mozilla/3.04Gold (X11; I; AIX 4.1)" -r www.geekbabe.com/kim/

The lousy thing about this "protection" is that it doesn't allow valid
browsers in.
