How can I fetch the images of a public website using wget?

How can I fetch the images of a public website using wget? It's not a huge site: it has about 40 pages, with around three images per page.

I want to avoid:

Manually downloading the images
Downloading the whole site

Any ideas?

You can use wget and tell it to only down image files or use http://www.downthemall.net/

From http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/wget/wget_31.html

You want to download all the GIFs from a directory on an HTTP server. You tried `wget http://www.server.com/dir/*.gif', but that didn't work because HTTP retrieval does not support globbing. In that case, use:
wget -r -l1 --no-parent -A.gif http://www.server.com/dir/

More verbose, but the effect is the same. -r -l1' means to retrieve recursively (see section 3. Recursive Retrieval), with maximum depth of 1.--no-parent' means that references to the parent directory are ignored (see section 4.3 Directory-Based Limits), and -A.gif' means to download only the GIF files.-A "*.gif"' would have worked too.
