This dataset depends on the following independent variable (i.e, grid):
grid: /T (julian_day) ordered (1 Jan 1979) to (31 May 1994) by 1.0 N= 5630 pts :grid
so there will be 5630 links below for the different files.
You may want to get a utility like wget which can download sets of files. For example (all one line)
wget -r -l2 -nd --no-parent -e robots=off -v --relative 'http://iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/SOURCES/CDIAC/.msu/.precipitation/downloadsarcinfo.html'
