Downloading content of all files held within a parent folder on IPFS

Say an IPFS folder contains (or rather, "points" to) several files. I wish to download the content within all of those files in one process, instead of making an individual HTTP request for each file within the folder. Traditionally, you would simply download the parent folder/directory, and in doing so, you would download the content of all files held within that folder/directory. Is it possible to do this with an IPFS folder? If so, how?
