It is sometimes a good idea to keep a local copy of a website on your hard drive. A reason could be that you fear the website will be taken offline in the near future and you want to save valuable information. Another one could be that you want to save it on a computer that does not have internet access all the time.

Getleft is a simple website downloader that downloads the websites that you want to browse offline. All links will be converted to relative links means you don´t have links that point to urls. It´s able to resume downloads and also able to follow external links.

Httrack is another freeware utility which has more options than getleft. It´s the best web mirroring tool I have found so far.

Maybe I’m a little old school but what’s wrong with:

wget –mirror -p –HTML-extension –convert-links

It will do exactly what you said getleft is supposed to do and more.
