    1. GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP(S) and FTP, the most widely-used Internet protocols. It is a non-interactive command line tool, so it may easily be called from scripts, cron jobs, terminals without X-Windows support, etc.

      Works easily for downloading whole websites, just search up wget mirror or something. Idk about the iq of the other recommenders since they all seem to agree that it is impossible or hard.

      BarnMTB Wget is a command line tool, which means that it's harder and more complicated for most people.

      HTTrack is far easier to use and is specifically made for creating offline copies of websites and has lots of options to deal with that, especially using its GUI interface.

      RoestVrijStaal tl;dr Wget is the wrong tool for the job which HTTrack fulfils. Wget is only to download single files. HTTrack has rudimentary the same behaviour like a web browser. HTTrack parses the HTML-files of the given URLs and fetches all the assets (pictures, javascript etc) used by the HTML files.

      Because modern websites are complicated and often rely on dynamic content, ArchiveBox archives the sites in several different formats beyond what public archiving services like Archive.org and Archive.is are capable of saving.

      ArchiveBox vs HTTrack opinions
      pros, cons and recent comments
      BarnMTB ArchiveBox is more like your own / self-hosted Wayback Machine or Archive Today. HTTrack is a typical windowed program for crawling websites.
