i use httrack linux and windows versions, generally without problems, sometimes fails parse dinamic content websites but man httrack has plenty options described. in previous work (windows only) i run daily task with httrack to get fresh rar files with database updates. if there realy no files and dirs created in ~/websites folder, try to check write permissions or is there any space left. -- Linux 2.6.15-rc2 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ 11:18:28 up 45 min, 7 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
