Take a look at the wget package.  From the man page:

       Wget supports a full-featured recursion mechanism, through
       which you can retrieve large parts of  the  web,  creating
       local  copies  of remote directory hierarchies. Of course,
       maximum level of recursion and  other  parameters  can  be
       specified.  Infinite recursion loops are always avoided by
       hashing the retrieved data. All of  this  works  for  both
       HTTP and FTP.
