Download the Web? – luke

luke Member Posts: 311 From: I use your computer as my second Linux box Registered: 10-30-2005	In a while my internet/phone/TV will be taken offline since I am moving to a new home, I am wonderng if it is possible to save large portions of a web site, eg all of GameDev.net's featured articles (w/o having to go to each article and saving each of its pages sequentially). I already know how to save the current web page I am veiwing (file -> save as). ------------------ "Do not condemn others for their ignorance, use it against them." Scott E. Roeben

Maybe google it and see what programs you can come up with. ------------------ Of course God knew what would happen if they used their freedom the wrong way: apparently He thought it worth the risk.

I can't find the one I'm thinking of at the moment, but these two might help: DownThemAll! FlashGot ... 10 minutes later... Aaah! Here it is! Slogger quote: Slogger creates a complete log of your browsing history. It can save every page using the same options as the "Save Page As" command as well as saving a customizable plain text history file. So basically you can quickly browse through all of the articles that you want to save (for instance, middle-click on all of the links to open them up in separate tabs), and it will save them all locally. I hope this helps! --clint Edit: Okay, found another one that might work better. SpiderZilla quote: Spiderzilla is an easy-to-use website mirror utility, based on Httrack from www.httrack.com. If the extension doesn't work for you, you might want to try Httrack From the website quote: HTTrack is a free (GPL, libre/free software) and easy-to-use offline browser utility. 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.
