How to automatically download files from a website to a folder

What would be the best way to do automatic download files (i.e files that are regularly being updated) from a website, and put those files in a local folder on my windows machine?

Do you use Ajax, or is plain jQuery good enough?

Can anyone hint me in the right direction?

Thanks

As long as you have the url of the files, you can make an GET request and download files.

This GET request can be made using Ajax w/o Jquery or a simple HTTP program which make the requests and downloads it.

Freely usable programs such as wget are also present.
