Lookin for application to download websites
 
I could had sworn I once saw an app for Diablo that allowed you to download sites (not just wiki) for off-line browsing - but can NOT find it.

Anyone know of one or maybe I just imagined it....?

could you not just save the webpage? microb supports that.

Yeah but if I understand it right i would have to save each page individually (it doesn't crawl down).

There is a site I want to use offline that, simplified, have one main page and a lot of pages one layer below that you get to from a two step selection process. They also updates periodically.

What I would LOVE is a tool that would crawl down X levels (or even 'download as you browse' ('start download' browse...'stop download'). And then the site could be accessed offline and you could trigger a sync ton see if any content had been updated.

Not sure this exists as a Diablo tool though :(

I see, that sounds like it would be really useful. Perhaps iceweasel can do something similar, if not, perhaps an add-on for it.

You could look at wget, a command line tool.

There's also pyplucker, and for the desktop sitescooper. (I'm mentioning sitescooper because it will sync and only get what's changed--and who knows? It's just a big perl script; maybe you could run it on the NIT.)
