Thanks, HTTrack

Sometimes, you need to download a whole website locally. And for that, HTTrack is the best tool I ever found.

Sure, you could use wget and some recursion to get what you want, but HTTrack solves all that for you.

Reasons you might need to download a whole website:

  • You need to browse it when you don't have an internet connection (on the go, with low data usage, in a train, etc)
  • You want to run scripts on the content, and it's faster with a local copy than a remote one
  • You want to make a copy of a website that might disappear
