About:
HTTrack is a powerful website copier and offline browser tool that downloads entire websites to your local machine for offline viewing. It recursively mirrors web pages, images, and other files while maintaining the original site structure and link relationships. This utility is invaluable for creating backups, performing web scraping tasks, or accessing documentation without an internet connection.

Key Features:

Recursive website mirroring with configurable depth
Resumes interrupted downloads and supports incremental updates
Preserves original site structure and relative links
Command-line interface for automation and scripting
Cross-platform compatibility

Use Cases:

Creating offline backups of important documentation sites
Web scraping and data extraction for research purposes
Testing and development with local copies of websites
Accessing web resources in environments with limited connectivity

Alternatives:

wget – More general-purpose downloader, less specialized for recursive website mirroring
curl – Primarily for API interactions and file transfers, lacks built-in recursive mirroring
