A page contains links to a set of .zip files, all of which I want to download. I know this can be done by wget and curl. How is it done?

The command is:

wget -r -np -l 1 -A zip http://example.com/download/

Options meaning:

-r,  --recursive          specify recursive download.
-np, --no-parent          don't ascend to the parent directory.
-l,  --level=NUMBER       maximum recursion depth (inf or 0 for infinite).
-A,  --accept=LIST        comma-separated list of accepted extensions.
