Anybody know how to download a whole website?


Downloading 'all' of a website is impossible, as you do not know the location of every file on the server. About the only approach you could do is use a web crawler to get the first page, identify all the links, follow all of those links to other web pages, grab the links on those pages, and repeat.


There are probably solutions for this already online somewhere, or you could even build one with a little bit of scripting.
 
On linux, type (b.t.w. this is not very friendly to the website owner):



Code:
wget -m -k -K -E http://www.gamepro.com

On windows, check out httrack.


On MAC, browse to a website that sells non-mac products :p
