"wget" is the most convenient
"lynx" can also work has a lame replacement (Its really a browser, but..)
somethimes can also exist "curl"
and if everything fail "ftp"

Example of a session (or something similar):

$ ftp
 > connect rosebud.com
Connected to rosebud.com
user: anonymous
Wellcome!
 > binary
Mode binary
 > get rosebud.gz
rosebud downloaded to local dir.
 > quit
Bye!

The command I use at this demo:
connect <servername>, to connect to the server, may need to enter 
username and long (anoymous and root@localhost may work)
binary, to download has binary
get <file>, to get a file, also mget exist to get a bunch of files
You may also need to "ls" and "dir" to search files.
I forget the quit command, but will be quit or bye :D
