[Hidden-tech] Web grabber

[Chris Hoogendyk]

This is still going around? I don't recall if the original poster has 
said anything based on the suggestions so far. However, wget was already 
suggested and is the appropriate tool. People who do web programming on 
unix/linux systems have used wget for years. It is command line, but 
easy to use, and has all the parameters and options to control depth and 
width of recursion in getting web files. It also doesn't need any other 
access or protocol. I use wget all the time on Solaris. I searched my 
Macs and didn't find a copy already there (Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.10), 
but someone already posted where to find wget for Mac OS X. A pretty 
complete general rundown with links to everything can be found here:  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wget
