A friend of mine is looking to archive a (vile) website that is about to be taken down. She needs it for advocacy for the people the site is against. What program can download as much of the site as possible?
@eladhen my advice would be to point the Wayback Machine at it
@tindall
What's that?
@tindall
The fact that this site is taken down is a blessing. I don't want it to be publicly available.
@eladhen https://archive.org/web/
Basically, Archive.org keeps a permanent record of many sites on the Internet, and you can send them a URL and they'll add the site to their list.
However, if what you need is a total scrape of the site (all pages), you will be better off using http://www.httrack.com/ or a cURL script.
I suggest Archive.org mainly because 1) it's a well-known and highly trusted organization, reducing possible doubt about the accuracy of the backup and 2) it's easy.
