Does anyone know of a Mac freeware that will let me copy websites to my hard drive and browse them offline? I used to use httrack when I was on my PC but have not found an equivalent on the Mac. Thanks,

If you still have IE5, you can save a site as a "web archive". That's about the only thing I use it for now--no other browser or shareware seems to have duplicated that function as well as IE did.

You can do this from the command line using wget. You can use Fink to download wget. Install Fink, follow its set-up instructions, then do "fink install wget".

Once you've gotten it, use "man wget" to see the help for wget, or google it for instructions.

I'm sure there's an easier way, though.

Search MacUpdate for Deep Vacuum (a wget frontend) Or WebGrabber.

If you do use wget, this will download the whole site and convert the links for local viewing:

wget -r --convert-links -D thesite.com -p http://thesite.com

replace thesite.com with the actual domain name of course.

You will also want to create a folder to hold the files and cd into that folder first.

So the whole thing might be like this:

cd ~/Sites
mkdir offline
cd offline
wget -r --convert-links -D thesite.com -p http://thesite.com
