Panarchy Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hello!I have some things (many pages long) that I need to save to my disk.Since my internet is slow, but I have a friend that has fast internet.I need this material for studying.I was wondering if there was a way to save either a page range, or all pages within a page (if you know what I mean) to the hard-disk (with links working between documents).I have heard of a few type things (offline web-browser or something like that), but I'm not sure which is best, or if any support flash.Please reply with software or firefox addons that will be able to achieve this for me.Thanks in advance,Panarchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 wget - the latest version is 1.11.3, but I don't know if anybody has built it yet for Windows. I know that the stable version 1.10.2 is available for download on multiple sites; use Google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Thanks.So what, is it made for linux?If so, could I just use a live cd for the saving (and save it to a USB or Hard-Disk) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 wget --helpP.S. look into the -r option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Thanks, but I've already given up with that program (unless this one that I'm using now doesn't work).I'm using MetaProducts Offline Explorer Enterprise 5.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Wget works very nicely, and is one of the most flexible programs for this sort of application. It is a command-line driven program, and therefore not very easy to use. One must actually read the manual/help in order to understand its very wide functionality.It can also be run as a scheduled batch file, which allows regular downloads of the same nature.

Panarchy Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hmm... thanks.But it seems that Offline Explorer is doing everything I need it to.I'll know this for sure when I see the result, and notice the output file.Panarchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 The program afore mentioned does not do what I need done properly.WGet keeps giving me errors.Please recommend to me another program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
