Hi Is there anyway you can download complete websites to your hard drive to view offline. Thank you Ben Jones
http://www.newprosoft.com/offline_browser.htm I never used it but it sounds like something you are looking for. If you buy it and use it let me know though because I was thinking about getting it.
Thanks for the link but i only want it so i can download one site to show my mate on my laptop. will never need it again so its not worth the cost. Thanks anyway, if anybody knows of anythin please post below. Thanks
I once did a bit manual work. I just saved pages of site one by one and the site was working fine. I just got static content downloaded.
There are hundreds of tools. I could tell you all their names since I blocked them via .htaccess (user agent). I find it offensive if someone tries to download my whole website with almost 2000 pictures. Don't be surprised if a) It doesn't work as advertised b) Your IP gets blocked from the domain you are trying to rip. I am also not pleased about the development of all these new Firefox and IE plugins that are supposed to speed up browsing by loading the pages behind each link on a site. This "speedy" browsing will come at the expense of the owners server traffic. Unfortunately neither a) nor b) are effective as they are easily circumvented.
Yeah right. They are worth sh** in some countries. You wouldn't believe how many people are trying to hotlink every day or discussing in my comments how to download a large panoramic (222 Megapixel running inside a flash app): http://www.aguntherphotography.com/machupicchu_222mp.html so they can print it or use it otherwise. You wouldn't believe how many hate emails I get because some of my pictures are protected from hotlinking or how many people email me asking why their download robot doesn't work on my site. Most of them don't have bad intentions and are just uninformed. Out of 1000 people trying to hotlink 1 person asks. Usually I let the ones asking do it and play around with others: http://www.aguntherphotography.com/node/1698 I am wondering: How does a copyright notice prevent a robot from downloading anything?
I just us frontpage to do it (dreamweaver might too... just haven't tried with it). With that you just import the site's html and images and tell it how many levels deep to go. I use it to backup my sites periodically (the ones I build on a cms, so it's not already fully on my harddrive). I would think most similar software would have an import too. I just started playing with Serif's new one for a review I'm doing of the software, and I think even it had an import tool. Jenn
