Beta day here at Ghacks. First a way to get Windows Vista Beta 2 shipped right to your doorsteps by answering some easy questions in a quiz and now a new beta release of the great website copier HTTrack. The program aims towards the experienced user with all its options and settings but can be used by novices as well. Most settings are optional that should be used for websites that use a lot of scripting and dynamic pages.
The question that some of you might be asking is why would someone want to rip a website ? You could rip websites for offline browsing purposes. Maybe you have a second computer without direct internet access but would like to view the website on this computer as well. A website that gives an overview over a programming language is a good example. Another reason would be to save the information that is on the website this way, maybe you fear that the website might be offline soon.
The HTTrack website offers a step by step guide that can be used to understand the main features of the tool and rip your first website using the settings of the tutorial. HTTrack is available for Windows and Unix, Linux & BSD.

thanks a lot.
sound like a good software.
This software is really useful.
I have used HTTrack and found it great, on WDS’s Well Designed Sites (not necessarily pretty ones).
Sites are either Integrated or Disintegrated or every shade between, depending upon the mind set of the designer. I can’t say I’ve found the answer, yet. However a side benefit of HTTrack is it can assist in the discovery of well designed sites (irrespective of the content).
What a great piece of software! Thanks a lot!
