Hi!
Sometimes I would like to copy a whole www site to my hdd with the all contest (graphics, sounds etc). Could you recommend me some software to do it? Right now I have MetaProducts Offline Explorer Pro.
If these progs could be freeware then it would be great (but if you know not free but good progs then write about them too).

Thanks!!!

This can be done with wget, but sadly, I don't know the exact commandline needed to use it.

Also, dynamically generated webpages don't work well/at all when viewed offline (this would include things like perl/php/cgi generated pages like the one you're viewing right now)

Yes, wget would work great for this.

Here's wget compiled for windows:

The command line would be something like:


Run "wget --help" for any more info on the parameters.

I've always had great results with HTTrack:
http://www.httrack.com/

It's free, open-source, cross-platform and easy to use.

Just downloaded and right now I'm testing. I'm just grabbing Foobar2000 site. So far so good. Program looks good, no problems with downloading and is 100% free.
Thank for a link!
I'm still waiting for other suggestions to choose best from the best

Downloaded and tested too. It does a job very good, but rather I'm looking for something with gui. Thanks for a hint too!

How about downloading from a password protected site for offline browsing? (I'm thinking econweb.com/micro in particular. And not, I won't give you my password). I have a paid subscription to an online textbook, but I would like to be able to read it after the six months are up.

Every time I try, it works fine, except none of the images download. I don't want to hav to go through every single one and hand download them.

wget can handle http authentication by using these commands:


httrack can also do this by using user:password@address
