Hi there

A favourite website of mine is moving to a completely new design, system and whatnot. Before it goes, I'd like to download the entire thing to keep on my external HD, just for nostalgic reasons...

So what is the best app to do this? It's quite an extensive website, so I can't go into each page individually and download it, that would take weeks...

Haven't you got access to the site via ftp?

Why not just drag all the folders/files from your webspace to your HDD?

You can use the command line tool wget, it comes with Fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net/).
