ncftpget -R
that requires ncftp 3, of course.
but if you really want to download the entire tree, i'd recommend
rsync:
rsync -avutP --exclude-from debian_exclude \
--delete --delete-excluded \
ftp.<country>.debian.org::debian/ ./debian
fill <country> with the two letters corresponding to your country (or
nearby ones, or "us"), and after 2.5 years on a V.90 connection,
you'll have the data mirrored in the ./debian directory. i am
including my debian_exclude file, which excludes everything but debian
for x86, powerpc, and the hurd.
cat << EOF > debian_exclude
