While I think it should be possible with lynx as well, I'd highly recommend
wget. I use wget for all my web download tasks and I think it's very
powerful. It supports downloading single webpages, whole subdirectories
recursively, it's able to pick up where it left of in case of a crash and a
few things more. It should definitely be able to do the job for you.
Ciao,
