Thanks for all of your help.
It is actualy a project to learn how such mega sights are put together. Their
site structure, different scripts etc.
So, yes I do understand that this takes up massive amounts of
disk space.

How do I access the protected content once I have mirrored the sight. 

I get a screen that says I need to be logged in.
Then it tries to go to the actual sight when I try to log in. I want to do
everything off line.

I there a way that the mirrored sight will show as if I have already logged
in.

Thanks,
B
