So...quick question, people.....what's the best way to download a site? I've tried httrack, no luck. I'm trying wget, not sure how that'll work out
What I want to do, on Ubuntu, is download a site, and mirror it, so I can browse it offline. For example, I'm trying to download a wikia, and be able to browse it offline. So.....can wget do that or not? Can httrack do that?
Any such software available for windows?
Httrack is, yep.
Okay, this is weird. On my Linux box.....httrack does *just* the index.html of the wiki I'd like to download. I'm doing this, and I've changed the wiki link because reasons
httrack --connection-per-second=50 --sockets=80 --keep-alive --display --verbose --advanced-progressinfo --disable-security-limits -n -i -s0 -m -F 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11;U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.5' -A100000000 -#L500000000 'http:/examplewiki.fandomcom/wiki/'
That just gives me the index.html file. Which is all well and good...but....I'd like the entire wiki thanks.
I mean, I'm not positive if this works, but on window, in chrome, I was able to download the current page+site files, but it seemed to be mainly js css and other misc files.
There is an -R switch., Set it to -1 and it will work
I'll try that Nuno,. @Redfox: I said Ubuntu up there in post #1, though Chrome crashed when I tried to save a whole site. Go figure....
Currently got HTTrack running, but it's slooooooow and keeps refreshing FF when it grabs a file. Which is hella irritating really, though.....I'm using webhttrack in FF for this, and I'm slowly getting there
My personal experience is also, that while httrack may get the job done, it's terribly slow. Still it's probably just me not knowing what values to give to what parameters and just sticking to defaults in a fear of messing stuff up.
So, got the site mirrored via wget. Yes, httrack is slow, I removed the speed limit and upped the max sockets to 80k, it still transferred at 20kb/s. wget worked at 5.5mb/s
@2: Grab wget for Windows, then do this for wget in a command prompt, after going to the directory where you want to save the site.
wget -mkEpnp <site>
Or if you want to use httrack, install winhttrack (windows) or webhttrack (Linux), both walk you through mirroring a site.
