Title: Website copier
Post by: Tony on March 28, 2003, 15:27

Here is a free and easy to use program that allows you to copy the complete contents of a website so you can view it off line. It also quickly up dates an already copied and save website http://www.httrack.com/index.php (http://www.httrack.com/index.php)

You really do need to get BB fast Tony!  Saving webpages to view them offline are distant memories.  But I admit that it's very handy for those on PAYG.

I would imagine something like this could be useful to a  student, who might want to download a particular site onto their laptop, to enable them to work while on a long train journey back to campus following a visit home.

Although I rarely use the browser, doesn't Internet Explorer  have something similar built-in?  I'm  sure I've seen  a "Make Available Offline" option hidden amongst the menus.  As for myself, although I don't have BB, I live just 20 yards from a large public library with about 50 PCs available for free use.  Therefore, I rarely reach anywhere near my 200 hours a month free-call allowance with my home ISP, so offline browsing never enters my head.

'Make Available Offline' is under Favourites, Dave.  If you right-click on the entry and then select Properties, you can tick the option to save it for offline browsing.

Note this may not work in all versions Windows -- my memory doesn't go back much beyond lunchtime.   ;D

To view all contentof a website off line via Favourites you would have to first view every page individually on line. With web capture software it grabes the whole site without you having to view it.

Oh and Clive re BB..... you fast flash folk make me sick  :( ;)

Just checked the BT BB registration page, registered 153 ....target 350 we are getting there slowly.

Let's hope that BT will see fit to lower your target level Tony.  They have been doing it elsewhere so you never know your luck!

Clive,

they refused to give us one saying it was not worth considering, then they gave us 350 target so I doubt they will lower it.

Yo it's up to 155....it's piling on ....at this rate we will reach the target by the time my roses are blooming  ;D
