    Can anyone personally recommend an easy to use grabber that I can turn loose and it will make copies of every page of a website?

    Free would be good. ;)

    BTW I'm not planning to grab anyone else's websites - just my own. I have a couple of large forums that I'd like to make hard copies of every page for.

    Thanks frankm.

    I've looked at wget before but to use it, it looked like I'd need to manipulate tar files and know a bit of Unix - both of which I should learn about but I haven't yet.

    Is there any software out there that's a bit easier to use?
