Or in Gnome/Nautilus, use File>Connect to Sever, make sure FTP is selected as the type, and paste in ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2009/. In KDE, just paste ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2009/ into the address field of the Konqueror browser. It can probably be done similarly with Dolphin as well. It just becomes a drag and drop action once connected with the above file managers. I'm sure copying the state folders with their contents can be done at the command line using wget as well, but I don't remember the syntax off the top of my head.
