Hey all, just tried a program called backstreet browser and it was useless.

Have any of you guys used any free programs to download a full website for off-line viewing?

I basically want this website www.thevisorshop.com onto my laptop. I just started a job there in the clothing and lid department in the shop, and they don't have wi-fi, but having the website available to me with prices/models etc would be so handy, especially as I'm starting off, for pricing things etc.

So long and short of it, I want that website downloaded and browsable off-line.

Ideas?

If you are working for The Visor Shop, can you arrange a BCF discount?

Stick to windows, eh?

wget man page wrote:
Recursive Retrieval Options

-r
--recursive
Turn on recursive retrieving.

-l depth
--level=depth
Specify recursion maximum depth level depth. The default maximum depth is 5.


Or just mirror the entire site into the current directory while spoofing the browser:

Code:
wget --user-agent="Mozilla 4.0" -m http://www.website.com


Plus any of the options to rate-limit, resume or any of the other options you can pass to wget.

I'll have to ask about that, if I had some idea of how many people would be buying stuff then I could make a good argument for it.
