considering your remark at the bottom, I will not give you any extra
hint about different programs ;-))
and BTW, the one I sometimes use can introduce itself as ANY browser

well, thank you. ;-) Also people still fighting with lousy ISPs and
by-the-minute, slooooooooow Internet connections.....
And some sites have such a stupid structure that if you save same
pages to check them offline you don't have a chance to keep
navigation without editing them. Grabbing the whole site lets you
save that.
I respect Marco's point of view - also because is providing a link to
download the whole site, zipped. And I understand your problem,
considering the specific content of your website, and the use
somebody did of it.
But please explain to me what the problem is if I download, let's
say, www.scantips.com to study it without making my Telco even
richer... I can only imagine the 300_requests_in_a_minute being a
problem, but what if I navigate your site and request 10 pages at the
time: wouldn't that generate the same kind of traffic (actually, even
more, if my browser's cache has been flushed since my previous visit
and all the images need to be requested again)?
my two eurocents
