I have stumbled on this by accident but I think that it is a pretty cool tip. So, here is how to download whole directories using IE.

  1. Start downloading a file from a directory you want to download.
  2. Quickly go to the Download Manager, double-click on the file being downloaded and hit Cancel button.
  3. Edit the Address window and delete the actual name of the file, leaving just the path to the directory.
  4. Click Reload button.
Now the whole directory would get downloaded. Here is a picture of what it looks like in action.
