Also, there was a project called Leech started back in '02 as an add-on to Firefox. Is that still around (and working)?

| ninja1 Senior Member 2939 Posts 1/08 |  Posted - Jun 25 2010 : 12:45AMAnyone recommend good site ripping software? I have subscribed to a southern-charms.com website for months and now I want to save the content (over 400 updates containing 50+ photos/videos each) to my computer. Is there any software which can do this automatically? Otherwise I will have to save each of the 400 pages one-by-one, which is more tedium than I can bear. I'm using Firefox browser and ideally looking for free software. I've had trouble researching this (user reviews are sparse/shoddy) and would prefer firsthand experiences. Thanks. [Link] |

| ninja1 Senior Member 2939 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Jun 25 2010 : 4:06PM The other one (WRC) is $50 and seems to do more than I need (=bloat). The trial free version downloads only 500 files max, which falls way short of what I need. Looks like I'll just have to settle in and collect everything manually. [Link] |

| ninja1 Senior Member 2939 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Jun 26 2010 : 1:38PM Thanks for the "offline browser" search term; that is a big help. [Link] |
| BadKarma Member 110 Posts 11/00 | Posted - Jun 26 2010 : 9:00PM results. That was a few years ago however. My experience with any recent Windows applications is limited. Hope this helps. [Link] |
| ninja1 Senior Member 2939 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Jun 27 2010 : 12:39AM It has a stripped-down feel and the documentation is very thin, but I'm managing to figure out the essentials of it. So far, so good. [Link] |

| ninja1 Senior Member 2939 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Jun 30 2010 : 5:40PM I just wish I'd made this inquiry sooner; could have saved money and/or joined more websites over the past months. [Link] |
| zambi Senior Member 1451 Posts 3/10 | Posted - Aug 4 2010 : 4:49AM I have used wget successfully but it takes some trial and error tinkering to get the right combination of flags for a particular site. You should post or review the mailing list for wget for sample scripts to start with. Using the --mirror option is not what you want to do. [Link] |
