Thanks for the suggestion, but adding the "-r" option does not help. I
guess the problem is that - as you state - when using HTTP wget only
downloads links, and this particular download directory has a
collection of video files but no index.html... so there are no links
for wget to follow? Am I interpreting this correctly?

This is what I get when I run wget with "-r":

wget -r -A "*220k.rm" http://ocw.mit.edu/ans7870/7/7.012/f04/video/
