klar agreed on a comment on Wget as an alternative to HTTrackWorks 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.

It does the job, can't say the same for paid versions.
Wonderful program, helps preserve the history by mirroring the old sites to read them later locally or upload somewhere for perpetuity.
Tried to download site using HTTrack, but failed because of authentication required (but Internet Explorer is always authenticated even when open site after reboot). Installed Firefox and logged in. ScrapBook successfully downloaded site.
Unlike some other web crawlers like wget and internet download manager, this one has much more options, is available for all platforms, and is GUI. Also unlike IDM it uses HTTP compression.
can not download dynamic web components or webpages targeted to static sites.
Actually good working software, and it is full-fledged application launches without net or java which is great.
Backup old websites before installing new cms. Thanks!
