After you're logged in, before you try to download anything, type 'prompt' (without the quotes). The server will respond something like 'interactive mode off', and then you can do your 'mget *' without having to confirm each file. This will get all the files, but maybe not any (sub)directories, as someone else already mentioned. I see you're a Windows user, and I don't know how to drive any Windows ftp client. The above is based on what you might get by doing 'ftp server.com' from a DOS prompt.
