wget (don't know a URL off-hand, but it's official GNU software, FSF
copyright and all, so prep.ai and ftp.cc should have it; I think the
latest version is 1.4.5?) seems to work the best of the ones I've
tried.  It has a long series of options that you can play with to
configure it exactly for your situation.  I haven't tried it on yahoo,
though....
