This works great and if you want a GUI utility use WebDevil - have used it for years. I have to say though - the wget method is MUCH faster. One note. The original code was listed as:
screen wget -r -l 2 -t 12 -nc --progress=bar --user-agent=Mozilla/4.5 http://whatever.site.you.want.com/the/url/path/
whereas in reading the man pages (GREAT INFO! - highly recommended for wget) the -l option (which stands for "level") is written as "-l2" with no space in it and the same with the -t (timeout) option - it should be "-t12". So the code would be:
wget -r -l2 -t12 -nc --progress=bar --user-agent=Mozilla/4.5 http://whatever.site.you.want.com/the/url/path/
I also - personally could not get it to work with "screen" even though I do have screen installed.
