Let's not forget wget.
I imagine getleft is a lot like it, but wget comes with most every distro
that has come out in the last few years. It can do complete mirrors of
remote pages, but be warned that pages with javascipt to open new pages will
fail. Unless Getleft is superhuman, it might not fair any better. But I've
never used that one.
wget is really handy to d/l hard-to-get links, because it has infinite
re-try and timeout capabilities. Works well on ftp as well, and has a tiny
memory and cpu footprint. the glory of the command line!

Hi
I mainly use 2 tools for this. search freshmeat.net for 'Getleft' and
'htmldoc'. the first can download a whole web page including pictures and
the second can convert them to postscript or pdf (both from hard disk or
directly from the web).
