Use ncftp (in the ports) to download an entire directory. You can use the
-R switch with get, as in "get -R <dirname>" to fetch a directory and
everything in it.

If you want to download it from Windows, you can use an ftp client like
WS_FTP, which can be found on www.download.com.

become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also
looks into you." -- Friedrich Nietzsche (Beyond Good and Evil)
