One of the most useful commands for a web developer on a UNIX machine is wget. wget makes an HTTP request to the specified URL and returns the output (it can be made to follow links to a specified depth, as well, and essentially mirror an entire site your local machine). You can also use "lynx -source -dump" to do the same thing. Unfortunately, since you are using Windows, UNIX tools don't do you much good, however there does appear to be a Windows version of wget that you can download:

It is currently being maintained by RedHat and, like Linux, is free. During the installation process, you will have the opportunity to install both wget and lynx.
