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.
