Dear All,

Does anyone know a way of downloading an entire website, apart from going through each single page and ‘saving as’ :rolleyes:? – like a bit of shareware/freeware which downloads every page and picture contained within a domain name, so that once on your hard drive it all ‘works’(pictures, links, etc). I know this could take several hours - the reason I ask is that I’m off to Meadowbank in a few weeks and could do with reading the entire BA site several times, so having it locally would mean less overall expense in internet calls and not having to wait for each page to download individually.

Much obliged to anyone who can help. I'm new around these parts so please go easy! :)

Easily done.

There are programs written specifically to do this. Usually found on one of the computer magazine's CD-ROM.

IE 5.x can also do it via the 'Favourites' menu.

Click on 'Favourites.........Add to favourites'

Make sure you tick in the 'Make page available offline' box then click on the 'Customise' button next to that.

A wizard will start that will take you through it.

Netscape has a similar ability, but I can't remember the menus to describe it to you.

Many thanks Tinstaafl, just tried the IE5 method and it worked like a dream.
