Re: LYNX-DEV Downloading a whole web site for local offline browsing

[Personal]

Someone suggested the following for using wget:

>wget (-r | --recursive)

Let me suggest 

   wget -r -l 2 --no-parent -k <URL> 

instead. Adjust the number after the -l to determine the recursive depth.
Add -v to see hhat's happening. Unless you _know_ you want to go all the
way down the tree, be sure you have a -l <depth> parameter in there. Be
polite. The "-k" converts the links in the fetched pages to work in the
new location. The --no-parent keeps it from following links to higher in
the tree and traversing downwards from there. I use it this way all the
time.
