Hello Bill, I agree with Chris that I would use wget from Terminal to grab a web site and its dependent pages as you requested. However, if you want to look for a GUI based solution, you might try explore a free app that you can get from the Mac App store named SiteSucker. This question came up on the mac-access list, and most of the responses were to use wget or curl from the Terminal. But the poster was asking on behalf of a friend, who didn't feel comfortable using Terminal. You can read my post about SiteSucker and another app named Maria in the Mail Archive post at: • Re: download managers. http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access%40mac-access.net/msg12870.html
This post gives the links to SiteSucker, and a few comments about trying it. If you read two more posts down the thread (using Control- n to go to the next to posts) you can read the statement about Maria. I'm afraid we didn't spend very much time on this topic, since the person who posed the question had already suggested to his friend that the best way was to use wget, and the other people responding about alternatives basically also agreed that wget was what they would recommend. And since the friend in question was not a list member, and the questions were being relayed at second hand, there was not much incentive to investigate in more detail . HTH.
