Pali Madra's Tumblr

I’m sure you have come across websites which have valuable information and you wish the content was available offline. This is possible. I have been using HTTrack for more than 7 years and it has never failed me. It is a free software and you can download HTTrack here

Why review HTTrack now?

One of the reasons I wanted to share this information was that I was delighted to see that a new version HTTrack (3.44-1) has been released in February 2011. There are many applications which I adore but they have been abandoned by the developers but this is a piece of code that has not been abandoned and it is great.

Features of HTTrack

You can download the local directory and HTTrack builds recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer

Once you have downloaded the site you can update it whenever you feel more content has been added to the website

Pause and résumé while archiving the website is possible

You can set the depth of the website to be archived. For example if you want the pages from a certain domain to be backed up only you can define that.

There is another similar software Backstreet which seems interesting which I’m going to try.
