This is exactly the reason why this is downloading of folders is not supported 
in kget, yet. There is no "folder" concept in http, all you can get is a file 
by requesting a URL. A folder listing in the webbrowser is nothing but an 
html-file with links inside.

Maybe it should pop up the "List all Links" window to allow the user to select 
all files to be downloaded.

If the protocol supports listing of directories, kget should allow recursive 
downloading.
