Hi
I am going back to my country where internet access is moniter closely and I don't think they would allow linux web site(probably anti-linux goverment);People say that in order to view a site you have to ask permission from offical and then they 'll allow to view it and open the firewall just to view that site to your home only(weird ,I know).And I was thinking about copying some site which I might find useful and I wanted to known which software and how do I copy entire web site for offline broswing.Doing save as whole pages take a lot of times.
Any tool that would allow to copy it in a click or any tool in kde or gnome that alreay is but I still haven't know about it?

hi,

the easiest way i have found is to open a console and use the 'wget' command. In the most basic case, you'd want to create a directory in which you want to download the site's files, go into that directory, then issue -

this will recursively traverse the entire site and download its content. i'd advise you to look at the wget manual page and adjust any options to suit the particular site you wish to grab (recursion depth in particular might need to be adjusted - it defaults to 5)

hope this helps.

I don't know which country this is, but can only
guess from your name. There is a government
firewall in the country where I live, and we use
proxy servers to bypass this firewall to view
websites.

Thanks for the replies guys,I never knew we could download websites with wgets;I'd been downloading ebooks and some linux How-To from web-sites and wget -rnp command is the best;I don't even have to download entire websites.That is really cool ,thanks for the tips;By the way chinaman,I wouldn't bypass govement firewall even it if I can because if they found out they could put me in prison for 15 years or more.If you own an illegal fax machine you could do same amout of times.I am from the country that is near your ID (chaninman),There is more chance of getting away with murder and rape than reading foribidden substances in my country.Anyway thanks for the tip ,I have been downloading most all the ebooks from
http://freebooks.by.ru/ computer and other subjects books are hard to get by in my country;
Thanks you all
