If you're familiar with unix, have a look at those FTP/HTTP clients

as your question is not strictly related to bioinformatics (it could be any kind of file), you can also submit your problem at http://superuser.com/

Anything that can recursively handle an FTP connection would do, including most FTP clients...

wget and curl are very good options. If you want something more user-friendly, DownloadThemAll is a nice Firefox extension.
