Is there a program out there that can download a whole bunch of links off a
single page. There is a URL with about 200 links which I would like to
download.

I would like to do this without having to click download for each of the 200
links. I am pretty sure there are programs out there which do this...I
vaguely remember GetRight doing this (I think) way back when.

Anyone got recommendations?

Unless I am not understanding the problem, I often highlight a html page and
copy it to a text document. The URLs follow and work for future use.

there is an extension for firefox called downthemall which does this:
http://downthemall.mozdev.org/

you could also use wget recursively on windows or linux with something
like

wget -r -l 1 http://index.page.url

and that'll get everything linked from the url you give it.

There are tons of them. Google for "download manager".
However, if this is only a one-time task, you might find it
just as quick to simply tab through the links and use
keyboard shortcuts to download them, rather than hunting for
apps, installing, learing it's interface, using it,
uninstalling it, etc. 200 links isn't much unless they're
huge files.

I use HTTrack for this application, and it's free.

Thanks all - I ended up using Flashgot in combination with Flashget in
Mozilla. Left it downloading overnight and it downloaded nicely.

The average fill size was about 1MB and I have a 512K connection, thus I
couldn't really afford to sit around doing this
 
Install MassDownloader, which integrates itself with IE. Open the page of
links and right click, "Download All"...
