Are all those HowTo's in or under the same directory? If so, try using
ftp to download that directory with ".tar.gz" appended to its name.

For example, if the directory is ftp://ftp.mirror.site/pub/linux/docs/
you could try the following:

Q> ftp ftp.mirror.site
Q> User: ftp
Q> Password:
Q> cd /pub/linux
Q> get docs.tar.gz docs.tgz

That should get you an archive containing the entire structure...

Best wishes from Riley.
