In what directory did you try to `mget *'? I looked inside
ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/pub/packages/simtel/vendors/djgpp, and that site
seems to be outdated: it only has a v1.x tree, no v2.0. (Whatever
happened to SimTel's smooth operation, I wonder?) Use the other UK
SimTel mirror site, micros.hensa.ac.uk:/mirrors/simtel/vendors/djgpp.
The v2-related directories all start with `v2'.

v2misc/csdpmi1b.zip, v2/readme.1st, v2/djdev200.zip, v2gnu/gcc272b.zip,
v2gnu/bnu252b.zip, v2gnu/gpp272b.zip, v2gnu/lgp271b.zip,
v2gnu/mak373b.zip, v2gnu/txi360b.zip, v2/djtst200.zip (recommended).

(Are you sure you want them?) *s.zip for every package you want the
source for.

There is a file v2/readme.1st that should get you started. See the
announcement of v2 as posted by DJ.
