If you tried compiling the latest version of streamripper (1.64.6), you’ll probably see the following error:

./configure 

< Snip > 

*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.
configure: error: Glib 2.16 or greater required

If so, try using an older version such as 1.62.0:

cd streamripper-1.62.0
./configure
make

If you run into the error above while compiling, try to configure with the ' --disable-adplug' flag.

./configure --disable-adplug
make
make install

Suppose I have a directory with a set of files (and perhaps other directories) under http://example.com/files/distros/ which has directory indexes enabled.

In order to download all files under the ‘distros’ directory using wget, run:

wget -r -np -nH -R index.html http://example.com/files/distros/

Where:
-r : recurse through all files and directories
-np : no parent / do not recurse up to the parent directory
-nH : no host / disable generation of host directories when saving files
-R : reject any files named ‘index.html’
