How to site-rip?

[starkee]

Assuming I have a completely legitimate interest in extracting/downloading media content from a website. Maybe it's even open-source info I'm interested in—but I want to save the media files in a single process, rather than navigating to each file and downloading it one-by-one. Essentially, I want to learn how to do a convenient site-rip. How can I learn how to do this? I would appreciate any advice members here might have, or even just suggestions as to where I could turn to find the information for myself.

Thanks!
