But there is.

system 'wget -r -p http://blabla.whatever/lalala/yooo.avi'

You can mimic wget's behaviour in pure ruby too, but wget is quite big,
it is not a quick job to implement all of it's features in ruby. I
myself only use open-uri to download a single file, but if anyone writes
a happy wget-ruby class that includes recursive downloads I'd happily
switch to use that too.
