Any tools for saving web pages and related links to view offline?

I am going on a vacation and will be bringing my laptop. I am trying to read during wait time (at the air port) and flight There are tons of articles to catch up.

What would be a good way to save web pages so that they can be viewed later on? Should I save each web site as a PDF format?

Are there any tools that will save all related links (e.g. F# wiki book) for wikis or any web site articles?

• In IE (at least in version 8) you can save a web archive (File->Save As).

  Sung Meister : Currently installing IE8...

  Sung Meister : This is the option I went with. Thanks jon

• HTTrack will do what you want.

  EDIT: If you are having problems with the latest 3.4x version, you might want to try 3.33 which you can download here (or from a link at the bottom of the site's download page.) Sounds like there were some pretty big changes in 3.4x (I haven't had to use it for a while, and don't run Vista.)

  Here are some links into the forums with regards to running on vista that might help too, but I'd try 3.33 first: 1, 2, 3.

  Sung Meister : HTTrack seems quite buggy and i might save each page faster than getting around some of this programs problems...

  Evan : I've never had any problems with it. It has always worked well for me.

  Sung Meister : Download site doesn't mention "Vista" explicitly so I am wondering it has some issues for that reason... I had it crashing like 10 times already...

  Evan : @Sung Have added some more info to my answer that may help you. Good luck.

  Sung Meister : @Evan Thanks I will try to get that working.

• You might also have a look at wget, there are versions for several OS's. As I recall, it has a recursive mode that will allow you to mirror sites to your local machine.

  Moshe : For Windows users, or GUI-caring-persons, there's a nice interface to wget, called wwget. Worth a look.

  Sung Meister : @Moshe I thought I had to write a script to call wget... great to know that there is a GUI version. Thanks

• If this is content available over RSS, you might consider using Google Reader with Google Gears for offline access.

• Re HTTrack, there is a Firefox Add-on/extension SpiderZilla, which gives you a GUI which in turn invokes HTTrack, I've never had any problems with it.
