Best App to save whole webpage AND its linked pages?

(1/5) > >>

Ampeter:
Say, for example, if I want to save a full Wikipedia page in html (same as "file-->save as" option in the browser) and also all the pages linked in that page(with the links redirected to the local copy if possible) what would be the best way?

The idea is to have a wiki article and all it's links(1st level only, of course) in html so you can browse it offline without having to set up a local wiki.


I tried HTTrack but it doesn't seem to have an option for what I what, and doing it manually looks like...crazy, at best.



Ideas?   :tellme:

MrCrispy:
The easiest way to do this is the Firefox extension Scrapbook (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8186). It has the best web capture engine since its browser based.

I have used HTTRack for at least 3 years if not more.  :Thmbsup:  It is extremely powerful, you can configure almost anything and get just about any file from any website, as well as all links and external sites linked.  You set how deep you want to go.  Price is good too, it's FREEWARE.

BINGO!

I knew of Scrapbook but I didn't know it was so awesome! It does exactly what I wanted, and it's light and very easy to use.

Thanks for the suggestion!   :D  :Thmbsup:

I agree, HTTrack is very powerful but I just can't find a way to download in html instead of downloading the actual files, so when I tried to download a wikipedia article I didn’t have a functional page....


Do you know if it's possible to do the same you can do with Scrapbook using HTTrack?

Offline Explorer is expensive (we had a discount in the past) but is top of its class:
