Default OT - need some help/advice with grabbing data from a website

There's a website I'd like to get some data from. The data is all there,
available and free and all; but they make you go through a series of
drop-down pick-from-a-list things to get to each piece, and there are enough
pieces that doing it manually would take WAY too long.

Is there some software or langauge that could automate this?

Google for WinHTrack, it is a web site grabber program.
Works fine.

Microwurst Front Page has an "import" function that will let you grab
the entire site.

The full version of Adobe Acrobat will let you download a web site and it's
associated links to create a PDF file. Not sure if that helps or not...
