downloading mid files in bulk

There is a page which has a large number of links of mid files which i  
wish to download.
The page is (e.g. there are many)
http://www.classicalmidiconnection.com/cmc/ludwig.html

One example links is:
http://www.classicalmidiconnection.com/cgibin/x.cgi/mid/beethoven/be- 
ps-30.mid

When i click this link, a page opens with a slightly changed link in  
the address bar:

http://www.classicalmidiconnection.com/cgibin/x.cgi?mid/beethoven/be- 
ps-30.mid

(cgi is followed by a ?) My browser now opens the file in some player  
and i can do a save as.

Now i wish to download all the links on each page, using say wget  
(rather than manually doing it for each page).

However, when i try the above 2 links in wget, i get a message saying  
302 temporarily moved giving another url:

http://www.clavier.com/?mid/beethoven/be-ps-30.mid

I tried each of these urls with wget and i only get a HTML file with  
some javascript, not the mid file. Considering that my browser is able  
to get the mid file, I should also be able to get it.

Any ideas what i can do ?


I am trying to do a :
wget --accept mid --reject html --mirror  
http://www.classicalmidiconnection.com/cmc/ludwig.html

However this command, first downloads the hundred plus html links  
before rejecting. Not sure this will work.

(BTW, I dont believe the above is illegal or breaking any license on  
their site. Pls tell me if otherwise).
