Did you notice Tools/webchecker/websucker.py in the standard 
Python distribution.  It can suck down mulitple pages for one 
site.  I often use it to grab multi-page documents off of the 
web for local reading.  I don't remember whether it correctly 
grabs the image files too.  If you'd like to use this problem 
as a learning experience, you might be interested in at least 
looking at websucker.py.
