Is there a recursion option for wget? That might be what you need to download the directories, but I'm sorry I don't use wget that often.

I know in lftp I can download a dir using:
queue mirror DIR_NAME

That help at all

Actually the man pages gave me alot of help for your issue.
-r (for recursive)
or
-m (for mirror)
One of the two should work, man pages says they are equivalent!

wget -r http://www.somesite.com/somedir/ works fine. But, it won't work for directories that require authorisation - you'll get a 401 error instead.
