I am also using Scrapbook for about 1.5 years now. You can set the depth of capturing that has some what similar effect. Actually it can do far more then just ripping a website. Initially it may take some time to get used to after some time you will really don't want to leave it. It also supports bookmarking tagging(3rd party extension), webpage comments. In fact many standalone application have been built to mimic features after scrapbook came out. Metaproducts Inquiry is one example. In fact I love it so much I have written my <a href="http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2008/01/12/scrapbook-firefox-extension-a-real-boon-for-researchers/" rel="nofollow">first ever review </a>on sracpbook :) Martin: I completely agree with Dan on Scrapbook.

Not the same thing, to be sure, but setting an adequate depth would insure capturing all child pages x number deep. I've relied on ScrapBook for years now to store web pages I want to retain offline. Great organizational and search features. It's a truly useful extension that's worth investigating. (I have no affiliation with the creator of this extension; just a fan!)

But you can save all the open tabs tough. With scrapbook it is not possible to save pages you have not loaded. But you can save all the open tabs tough.

It looks more like save one page at a time ? Gokudomatic can you point me to a good tutorial that explains how this is done ? That would be awesome, thanks.
