Hi Sarah and Dónal, I've used Wget from command line, which a techie, unix/linux sort of response that doesn't answer the question of having a GUI interface. A quick search of the web and the macupdate site brought up references to a donationware tool called "SiteSucker": http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11634/sitesucker
This is also available in the Mac App Store as a free app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sitesucker/id442168834?mt=12 It seems accessible, though I set my VoiceOver navigation for Mouse pointer to "follows VoiceOver cursor" (VO-F8 for VO utility, Command-4 for the navigation tab, then navigate to the pop up menu option for "Mouse pointer" to change the setting) so I could click on the "Settings" with VO-Shift-Space to bring up the menu options. On a tip from the MacUpdate site, if you just want the files the target site, choose: Settings->General->Download Option->Get All Files in Same Directory for the pop up menu. The default is set to "Get All Files on Same Server", which pulls down a huge number. There are also "File Types" that let you specify only downloading certain types of files, and more "Advanced" menu setttings. Sarah or somebody else might like to explore this and report back -- I checked it out on her site. I think Dónal may want to explore the settings to use before handing this to his friend. There's also supposed to be an iOS SiteSucker app for $1.99. HTH.
