Using wget to Mirror Whole Web Sites
on
The following should all allow you to mirror an existing site from the Internet to your hard drive (if you are using a Mac or Linux):
wget --convert-links --mirror http://www.slashdot.org
wget -r -k -R .pdf -Dslashdot.org http://www.slashdot.org
wget -r -l5 -k -Dslashdot.org http://www.slashdot.org
It can be a useful way to migrate a script from an old server (which you may no longer have access to) to a new one.
