Assuming you have Linux installed on your home PC (right?) -
you may use package "mirror" to create a mirror of the remote directory
tree on your home machine.
You may also install "ncftp" or "lftp" which has recursive downloading
function. This task is a bit more complicated than you probably think
because of the symlinks inside the tree. "Mirror" is guaranteed to get 
everything correctly, not sure about the other two.
