WGET is just webget. It's a small executable which
can fetch a file for you, given it's URL. However, it
can also recursively get a directory (or site).
There are many such programs for Win32, most of which
can recursively get an ftp directory, given it's URL,
even if they need to pass through an ftp->http gateway
(which squid can be). Actually, I'm sure most of those
programs do not even support a real ftp proxy.
