There is a shareware program that may do what you want.  It is called Black 
Widow.  Details on:

http://www.softbytelabs.com

Short extract from the publicity material:

" BlackWidow will scan a Web site and present found files in an Explorer-like 
window. You can view various information about each file, such as size and 
date, and select files to download from the site. The site profile can be saved 
to a file for later use and merged with other profiles if needed. Password 
authentication is supported for sites that require a user name and password."

I had a quick look at it, and it seemed OK, worked as advertised.  There is a 
time and capacity limited eval that can be downloaded.
