I work for a State Library in Australia. We have a "web
preservation" project whose job it is to capture and archive
websites that were created by our state's developers. Each
site therefore must be captured in whole (or as whole as
possible), so it will be an accurate representation for the
future.
In some cases we have requested copies of a website on CD
from the webmasters. But due to many sites nowadays being
dynamic, this often is not possible, and that's why a tool
like HTTrack is important.

Are you familiar with the HTTrack options?
I will make a note to write up some of the important
settings that should be set by default.
What do you think, Xavier?
