Versions after 3.33 have problems (Search the forums.) I use 3.32 and haven't
tried 3.42 yet.  So if you have problems try 3.33.

Httrack is designed to capture a snapshot of a site.  The default is to delete
obsolete pages.  You can change that in the options, but the obsolete pages
won't be linked anywhere.

Httrack generates html, use any browser you like.  It doesn't fully parse
javascript so mirrored pages may not be exact.

The default is to make relative links.  You can move the entire mirror
anywhere or even mirror directly to the archive HD.

Sure. Use the action "Download all sites in pages (multiple mirror)" instead
of "Download web site(s)"

Httrack doesn't know of mht.
