I use 'Teleport Pro' which can download until 'x' links away from the starting address, and can include both internal and external links. merlyna lim scot research group, bandung - indonesia u.twente, enschede - netherlands

Frank,

I use adobe acrobat. If you have the writing feature, not the free reading feature, you can save webpages exactly as they are, including their directories, and you can decide exactly how many links deep. Endnote also provides this feature, with detailed cataloging available so you can recall them later.

...

I know this has been discussed here before, but I can't seem to find that discussion anymore.

I'm analysing a relatively limited number of homepages and I'm looking for a way to archive them to be able to later go back to the state I found them in for analysis purposes.

Using the "save as" function of for instance IE isn't sufficient. Since personal homepages aren't all that big usually, I want to archive the whole site including underlying pages.

I have found WebCopier <http://www.maximumsoft.com/> and that seems to work quite okay, but it still has some issues, for instance with iframes. It also converts the directory structure of the site and sometimes it's important to see how someone structures their site.

So, in other words, does anyone have any other recommendations? Dept. and IT policies make that I'm looking for something that I can run locally on my own machine...

TIA

Frank. -- Fragments Blog: http://fragment.nl/ Cyberculture Resources: http://fragment.nl/resources/
