It will produce an exact copy of a website on your hard drive. Links to pictures work and it looks identical. Sadly, I didn't know it existed until after death-valley.net was gone. Using this app obviously violates the site owner's copyright.
That's unnecessary. There's free software available that does the same job (and is what I used to scrape the site ~2 years ago).
I can find my old death-valley.net posts, but they are only text - no photos. I assume that the free tool did not capture the images. WEB2DISK does. The copy it produces looks identical to the original on the internet. You could not tell them apart. I am not complaining. Netllama, you did a fantastic job in getting what we have. I am just curious as to what the free tool can do. I retired last year as a computer programmer, but it was on an IBM mainframe (iSeries formerly AS/400). PC's, networking, and web leave my head spinning.
wget could have captured everything, but the owner of the previous site terminated access before they could be captured (and then threatened legal action).
