HTTrack - Website Copier

Here is a nifty app that has both an installer AND a stand-alone version.. Thus it made it to this site as a review.

A little background, we do not have the internet at home and my wife has been having to go to the local library to view a home cleaning site her sister told her about.. Well, she only gets there an hour or so a week. On this particular site there is a ton of good material to make house work easier but, it takes a long time to view it much less try to remember it and maybe go back and re-view it at another date..

There has got to be away to get some pages of this site offline so she can access it with her non-connected computer.. Well there is, my friend told me about HTTrack.. WOW is this cool.

I found it was a stand-alone version and gave it a shot.. Just did a quick download and ran it.. Pointed it to the website in question and lett'r rip.. Just watched the "thermometer" bars dance and away we go.. It re-did all the paths and everything. Very slick. Got the whole site, burned it to CD, and my wife was very happy.. Got pix, all pages, everything. Very nice..

Here is a small snippet from the HTTrack site
It allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure. Simply open a page of the "mirrored" website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online. HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. HTTrack is fully configurable, and has an integrated help system.


Here is the page for the download . Choose the second entry down for the stand-alone version.

Anyway, if you need to have a site to preview offline and/or instead of printing out every page too, give this neat program a shot..
