batch FTP to download many InfoCenter PDFs to my PC

Just full of questions today...

Now that we've upgraded to v5r2, I want to update my PDF docs folder. 
Went to InfoCenter's v5r2 Printable PDFs page.  Instead of right-clicking
on each PDF link to do a Save Target As, then click OK to download, I
would like to set up a batch FTP so that I can limit my FTP pipe to one
file at a time and not have to babysit it.

I know how to write an FTP batch file with the BIN, GET, etc.  But I am
unclear how to specify the location of the remote file in this case. 
I.e.:
GET http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/info/rzakj/rzakj.pdf
c:\v5r2PDFs\CommitCtrl.pdf

Is this possible?  

Or is there an FTP site with all the v5r2 PDF's available for download?

TIA, GA
