About SiteSucker

SiteSucker copies a website's pages, images, PDFs, style sheets and other files to your drive and recreates the site's folder structure. You enter a URL, press return, and it downloads the site. By default it rewrites links so the copy can be browsed offline, but it can also save files unchanged.

A download's settings and progress can be saved as a document. You can repeat the same download later, or pause it and resume where it left off. It can also be scripted with AppleScript, and there is an iOS version.

Strengths

  • Rewrites links so copied sites work offline
  • Saved download documents that can be paused and resumed
  • Universal app with AppleScript support

Limitations

  • Apple platforms only
  • Sites with heavy scripting may not copy well
  • Closed source
