    Absolutely. I've been using Download Mage for about a year now, and its all you'll ever need in a download manager.

    http://www.dlmage.com

    It comes with 3 small integrated programs:

    - Download Mage - The main download manager.
    - Download Caster - You can highlight a chunk of HTML on a webpage and drag it to the Download Caster. It will parse the HTML, extract the links and list them for including/excluding in a download session (invaluable for a page that has alot of download links on it, eg. MP3s, a directory with no index.html, etc.
    - FTP/HTTP Explorer - Input a URL at the top, and it will list all the downloadable items on that page. So for your original query, you can put ftp://username:password@IPaddress and it will list all the files at that address, plus you can browse directories to your hearts content. Queue up whatever files you want into the download manager.

    The main download manager has download scheduling, autodisconnect/shutdown, bandwidth throttling .... the list goes on.

    Like I said, everything you need in a download manager (no ads, spyware etc. either!). Under a meg too, and less than $20 to register. Worth every penny. I've been a registered user since last Christmas.

    Oh, and I have no affiliation with the developer. I just wish all software was this useful and non-bloated.

    - Dave.
