HTTrack Website Copier

When visiting a web site, you have to meet only one requirement, which should be fairly obvious: you need a working Internet connection, otherwise, it will be impossible to access any site. With HTTrack Website Copier, you can visit a web site, without an Internet connection. To make it clearer, the software will download an entire web site to your computer, along with its link structure. Of course, the mirrored site will not be updated, but you will be able to navigate through its pages, just like on the original web site.

HTTrack Website Copier is freeware. In other words, you can use it, free of charge, for as long as you want. It has modest system requirements and it works on Windows 2000 or any later edition. The software is also available for Linux, Unix or BSD and you can install it in a few moments, regardless of what platform you are using.

The software makes it quite easy to download a web site. It guides you, step by step, through the entire process, just like a wizard. The entire procedure involves only a few stages, during which you must name your project, select an output folder, provide one or more web addresses and make a few other adjustments. When specifying a URL, you may also type in a username or password, if credentials are needed.

It is also possible to select one of many actions, such as including questions when downloading a web site, getting separate files, testing links in pages and more. When you start downloading, you can wait until it is finished or bring up a rich settings panel. It contains numerous options for using a proxy, setting up scanning rules, limits and much more.

The interface displays your files and folders, in a tree structure, so you can find the web site's files faster. HTTrack Website Copier will download all HTML files, images and links from a web site and it will arrange them in separate folders. When the process is complete, you may click an option, on the same interface, to load the mirrored site on your default web browser.
