If someone took the trouble to write a robots.txt do please observe it. A website with limited bandwidth can take a big hit from too many full spiders. In resonance with another active thread, I still take it as an old fashioned duty of "hacker ethic" that we have to lead by example in an age where the law and business are no longer a reliable guide.
I'm happy to spend time with any beginner off-list to demonstrate CVS or wget, seriously just drop me a line and we'll go through it, but it's just a little off-topic to be filling the list traffic with, and IOhans and Frank have already given the essentials. Please read those FAQs again guys.

Anyways, for the benefit of Jared and of others interested in downloading the examples/tutorial/workshop from CVS, I am attaching a script, which surely can be adjusted/improved in several ways. The script is just what worked for me.
Please never use this script!!!
It's bad practice, not polite at all and in some circles even considered extremely rude to ignore the instructions in "robots.txt"!
And it's not necessary at all: Instead of abusing wget as a CVS-tool, one should just get comfortable with a real CVS-utility.
