    Hey im looking for a program that you can use to download a full website so that it can be zipped and brought home from college on a memory stick to view at night.

    My problem is im doing a lot of stuff at college and the websites i'm using have a lot of reading on them along with tutorials and applets and what not!

    The old bringing home the temp internet files doesn't do the trick anymore so i'm wondering has anyone any reccomendations for a good program to download a full website, possibly including the small downloads available from it so that it can be zipped and brought home and look the same as if it was being browsed online?

    Cheers Farlz

    http://www.httrack.com/page/2/en/index.html

    HTTrack is a free (GPL, libre/open source) and easy-to-use offline browser utility...
    WinHTTrack is the Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP release of HTTrack, and WebHTTrack the Linux/Unix/BSD release.

    How would you compare WebReaper against httrack / WinHTTrack ?

    I must try this. :)

    WebZip is one of the best I came across. I also have Offline Explorer binaries in my archive, so it should be pretty good.

    Ok, here's the Dazz (tm) challenge for the above:

    Those have offline tools... Try and if you can "reap" http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/
    without it stopping immediately. Just test it and see if you can get 3 minutes worth?

    I tried this with WebReaper and it fails at the first thread: "Thread ended"...

    Some feedback.....

    WinHTTrack really works well, and you can manually skip if you get your "reap" range wrong. Excellent stuff. Recommended.
