About HTTrack
HTTrack downloads a website to a local directory. It fetches the HTML, images and other files recursively and rewrites the links, so you can open a mirrored page in your browser and move from link to link as if you were online. It can also update an existing mirror and resume an interrupted copy.
WinHTTrack is the Windows release, for Windows 7 SP1 and later. WebHTTrack covers macOS, Linux and BSD. Version 3.50, the first packaged release in nine years, adds HTTPS, files larger than 2 GB, long Windows paths and WARC output.
Strengths
- Keeps the relative link structure of the original site
- Updates existing mirrors and resumes interrupted copies
- Many configuration options and built-in help
- WARC output in the 3.50 release
Limitations
- Long gap between the 3.49 and 3.50 releases
- Windows XP and Vista are limited to the older 3.49-2 release
- Sites that rely heavily on scripts may not mirror completely
