wget, providing the site isn't protected by a robots.txt file that would prevent crawling.

Yeah, so?

I think there is also a GUI front end for it, but I can't remember the name of it. Just install the command line version of it, it's really not that big a deal:

1) Install MacPorts (it's a disk image)
2) Install XCode (on the Tiger DVD, also on Apple's site in the Developer Connection section - also a disk image)
3) Open terminal, type in: "sudo port selfupdate" (this downloads the latest portfile recipes for building software)
4) type in "sudo port -v install wget", wait for a while


To run it, simply type in:

wget -r "http://yoursite"


There may be a binary installer for wget somewhere too, I usually don't bother with them though.
