Multi-file selection and download using HTTP?

G'day mates,

One of my common needs is to download several data files from a web 
page.  Using MSIE 6 I seem to be limited to selecting one file at a 
time.  This is a bit of a nuisance as it requires interrupting other 
work to go back to the page to select the next in line, etc etc.

It occurs to me that there *should* be some simple way to do this -- 
maybe even within MSIE itself (but, if so, it escapes me 8-).

Does anyone know an application or script (run from a batch file or 
command line would be *very* convenient :) that can do this sort of 
thing, please?

Only needs to be very simple.  Bells and whistles not required; just 
the ability to point to a page, select the files, and download to a 
selected directory.

Something that works under Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP would be great!
Failing that, just ME/XP would be good.  And, failing that, just XP 
would be acceptable.

Thanks for your time.

Cheers, Phred.
