Downloading a HTTPS website and all of its contents for offline viewing in Chrome and IE9?

Wget does indeed have a lot of options, but I find the -m option is very suitable to grab the data from a single site.

  • PC Magazine has a utility called SiteSnagger (figure 1) that provides an easy-to-use GUI program that lets you download a site. It has various options (figure 2) that let you control what and how much to download. I used it numerous times to mirror/leech interesting sites back in the day—ah, those halcyon days when websites were simple :-).

    They started charging for their utilities a few years ago, but they were free for years, so it’s quite available.

  • You can also use HTTrack. It has even more options to specify exactly what you want to retreive and definitely works in Windows 7.

You can use HTTrack to download an entire site to a local folder for offline viewing.
