I'm using wget 1.10.2 which doesn't have the auth problem, what I'm getting is when I run:

wget --user=myname --password=pwd http://the.sharepoint.link

it only downloads an aspx file which is the page's content, how could I download the exact files

You can tell wget to follow links, only go one level deep and not visit external sites. You do however need to have links to the documents on the page you start with otherwise it won't grab the files. Remember wget is essentially a html scraper, it isn't going to be able to view the contents of SharePoint as a directory unless rendered like that on the page.

wget -r -l 1 -A doc http://our.sharepoint.com/Folder this will miss some files. Don't know why, I solved the problem using chrome's Download Master plugin. – shengy Jul 23 '12 at 1:28
