How can I down load a whole website?

How can I down load a whole website? I seem to remember that it was easy in the past, but I just don’t seem to be able to find the right button.

Thanks

[Mike J]

Do you mean a whole page?

[Maladict]

wget

[Goldcrank]

No, the whole site. I remember that you could down load 3 or 4 layers, but it's a long time since I have had to do it.

wget

wget??

wget

wget??

wget is a command line utility under *nix (linux, *bsd, etc)

wget http://url

will recursively and completely download all pages at and deep to the url.

There are numerous options to limit or extend the scope of the download.

Which site are you trying to download?

[Maladict]

I think you need -r to get recursive mode.

wget <some url> will download that file, no prereqs etc

Remember that if you download an entire site, you may be breaching their copyright.  And you may cause significant load on their server and cause problems for other users.

If you are a windows user, a windows binary of it is available.

Read the wget manual carefully or you will find yourself trying to download the entire Internet as it races of following every link then downloading that recursively and so on. There is an option to confine it to the original site.

On the other hand, the next time your granny asks you "Have you got the Internet on that computer?"  you can smile smugly and say "Yes."

I couldn't understand wget. (not a good start I know)

I ended up using httrack. Thanks

Did you know that if you type "Google" into Google you break the internet?

If you only want pages which are part of the website and not any external links wget -m <url> will do it. If you do not have acccess to a *nix machine you can get wget for windows here
