How to Download Entire Website?

[OpenToeSlipper]

Evening all, as title suggests, how would one download an entire webpage? I'm talking links, photos and all pages.

There's a site that's hosted on an old fs2.com page which i think may be Freeserve? Anyway it's a site that details the history of my local city, however it hasn't been updated in 7 years, all emails bounce back and I'm thinking perhaps the original webmaster has better things to do, or he's no longer with us... Thinking being that if it disappears from the net then I can host it somewhere.

Cheers

If you have Linux, or a Linux VM, then wget could do it.

A friend of mine wrote a windows app called Webreaper for exactly this purpose. Its very old now, but probably still works, and you may find it out there somewhere.

Get the wayback machine to archive the pages, if it hasn't already...

There's no easy "archive whole site" button, however.

Win 10 machine could use Windows Subsystem for Linux, save installing *nix. Available from the Winos store.

Used it for years it has not changed and works perfectly.

Also available for Windows, both as official CLI

or unofficial GUI

There's also this unofficial collection of unix command line tools that I've found convenient:

Cheers for the suggestions, very helpful. I'll have a look at those.

^^^This. Works on Windows so no messing about with Linux. Mostly just click and go, but if a bit more complexity needed can easily be configured.

Trying to use HTT track but just getting this message when I open up the index page after attempting to download:

The requested URL was rejected. If you think this is an error, please contact the webmaster.

Any ideas?
