WGET tip
It looks like the Glastonbury write-up will have to wait until tomorrow, but in the mean time here’s a handy tip (presented evolt style):
<tip type=“Offline Browsing”>
If you ever want to grab a large chunk of a site for offline browsing in Windows, WGET is the ideal tool. First download WGET for Windows. Now drop wget.exe
in a directory on your System path (on Windows XP I used C:\WINDOWS\system32
). Fire up a command prompt (windows-key + R then cmd
and enter works for me) and type wget --help for a list of options. Most of the time the article / section of the site you want will all be contained in a subdirectory of the site, in which case you can use wget -r -l0 --no-parent http://site.com/whatever/
to grab everything in that subdirectory, without WGET following any links to parent directories.
