[lug] Problem with wget

I'm trying to use wget to retrieve all the tgr*.zip  that are behind the 
named US states links on the bottom of this page at the Census Bureau:  
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tiger2004se/tgr2004se.html. But wget 
has a baffling array of switches and I'm not hitting on the right 
combination. I'm getting everything BUT those files it seems.

Does anyone know if wget can even do this and if so, what command-line 
switches I need to use?

TIA,
- Bill Thoen
