Are the files all in the same place?  Something like

for f in 01 02 03 04 05 06;do wget 
http://www.foo.com/files/downloads/stuff/thingummy-$f.tar.gz;done

could work.  Or various other ways to shuffle it around to get the most for 
the least effort.  It really depends on what the files you're after have in 
common, and how they differ.
