man wget

wget -a mlog --progress=dot:mega -v --mirror --no-parent \
  http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/i386

wget also works with ftp.

I kind of prefer:
wget -a mlog --progress=dot:mega -nv --mirror --no-parent \
  --no-host-directories --cut-dirs=1 \
  ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/i386

so the files get placed in ./fedora/linux/updates/8/i386 instead of 
./download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/i386
which can make life easier if you later desire to switch to using a mirror 
that is closer too you (or just plain faster).

Also I could be wrong, but i get the impression that wget gets better info 
about the need to update a local file from ftp than it does from http, so I 
use ftp when possible.
