    How to save a website for offline viewing?

    OK I am in a pickle... I have a computer that I will be using for a little while without internet access. I happened to buy a new piece of hardware for that computer whose manual is online only. I need to save the whole manual so I can transfer it to the other computer without internet. How would I go about doing this without saving each individual website? I can obviously do the first one, but I need to be able to see several links deep into that manual. How would you do it?

    Look for site ripper software. I haven't used any in a while, so I can't recommend anything, but that's what you're looking for.

      Actually I think I found one, it's called Teleport or something. Trying it right now.

        HTTrack is a free (GPL, libre/free software) and easy-to-use offline browser utility. It allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure. Simply open a page of the 'mirrored' website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online. HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. HTTrack is fully configurable, and has an integrated help system. WinHTTrack is the Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Seven/8 release of HTTrack, and WebHTTrack the Linux/Unix/BSD release.
