I do it in the following way:

First wget index file

wget http://www.test.com/index.html

grep for "a href" and send result to temporary file called "download"

grep "a href" index.html >download

Edit download

e3vi download

Now use search and replace options in your editor to change text
a href="
to
wget http://www.text.com/

Delete the unnecessary text and add    #!/bin/sh    at the begining

Exit the editor

Make script executable

chmod 777 download

start the script

./download
