A bit-o-help needed with wget

There's this polish website that has a TON of videos which I'd like to download, however I can't quite figure how to use wget to download them for me. In fact, I'm not even sure it's possible but here's the scoop:

The site is: http://climbvideo.wbp.zabrze.pl/znajdz.php
From what I can tell, all the videos are located in: ftp://klasztor.bnet.pl/data/

Now I'm by no means a UNIX wiz, so I've been using an app called "Simple wget" which is basically a GUI for the command(s). I've tried several different options but nothing's worked as of yet. How would I go about downloading these videos using either the Terminal or the app I've got?

I'd REALLY appreciate any help with this! By the way, it's all legal content I'm getting.

I checked out the site, and all I got was SQL or PHP error messages. That directory on the FTP site seems to be empty just now (or directory listing is not permitted). That and I don't read Polish, so I don't really know what links I should be checking.

You'd have to experiment on a day when the website is working, or there's some films posted. But, you should probably look into these wget options

-r (recursively follow links in fetched documents)
-l depth (set the maximum recursion depth)
--follow-ftp (follow ftp links from http documents)
-H (enable recursively following links from one host to another
-D domainlist (follow links that cross domains, if they're domains in the list)
