What you want is actually the very thing that wget is designed to do. All you have to do is simply (here I am assuming a Windows computer for some strange reason):
1. Open a command prompt (cmd.exe on windows) 2. execute: cd c:\ 3. execute: wget -r "http://your-domain.com"; Wget will now download all files from that domain into a directory named your-domain.com so it will be named after the domain that you download. All you now have to do is to right click that folder in the file explorer and select to create a zip archive of this folder and you should have the very same file that your friend provided earlier. Perhaps you need to cd to a different location in step #2 (I don't know WIndows that well), like perhaps "cd desktop", other who might know Windows better might fill in here. /HH 2012/5/18 MIKE MCDANIEL <[email protected]> > Hi, I am new to wget, and am not very computer-savy.
