HTTrack - Website Copier
If you ever need to make a copy of a web site to keep on your local machine, you can use HTTrack. It grabs local copies of the files require to render the site and converts them so that you can browse the site offline on your computer. Great for things like documentation sites that you want to be able to use when you are on your computer but away from an internet connection.
