Rob Evans mentions that there is documentation on using rsync to get RFCs and internet drafts:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rsync-help.html
After some testing, rsync works well for me. I use
rsync --stats -az --delete --exclude=ien \
ftp.rfc-editor.org::rfcs \
~/in-notes
# Use --ignore-existing to prevent I-Ds from being deleted or replaced with
# tombstones.
rsync --stats -az --ignore-existing \
ftp.rfc-editor.org::internet-drafts \
~/internet-drafts
