    "wget -cr --retr-symlinks
    ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.3" will
    also do it or one of the GUI ftp's, but I see you are an old dab hand at
    this stuff, reminds me of one night when we needed some upgrade model
    lock files for a couple of mainframes and the guys' Windows laptops
    couldn't fetch them using the GUI, asked them to open terminals in
    Windows which was beyond my level of knowledge, grabbed those patches
    via the command line ftp and got them to write the files to a couple of
    floppies - to the utter amazement of the guys ... one said he didn't
    have the first clue what I did, but it certainly worked.
    Regards
    Sid.
