I'm looking for a software utility that will download EVERY single file
on a selected web page with just one command. I've visited some web
pages that have dozens, if not hundreds of files. Rather than sit
there for hours doing click and saves, I'd like to just tell it the web
page address, and my folder destination on my hard drive, and tell it
to go to work.

Does such a utility exist? Sure would be handy. Any help or
suggestions would be appreciated.

"click and save" is the Windows way of doing.
"wget -r" is the *ix or *ux way of doing the recursive download.

If you are looking for new enemies, go ahead. Recursive retrieval is not =

appreciated on all web sites as it generates quite a load.
