I have been trying to copy a music site that is set to retire in august.
Unfortunately the original webmaster is not replying to my emails so I
desperately want to try to salvage this website as it as some invaluable
information regarding music production that I feel needs saving. It is
information that is very difficult to find elsewhere. 

I tried to use WinHTTrack but I noticed that this site was copying a lot of
excess junk from 3rd party junk that has nothing to do with the site. All I
want is that the threads including the posts within the thread. Anyone want to
help me out?
