Hard to say, depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

I wanted to grab "topics" off phpBB and vBulletin, because most I can download
by hand, but occaisionally I run into topics that span 10+ pages and it takes
forever.

So I wrote my own script that I feed it the topic URL for the first page, and
it goes thru and downloads all the pages (until there are no more) and
rewrites all the links so I can browse the topic off-line (and still use the
navigation links).

But it's mainly only good for topics that don't include pictures and
attachments.

This guy was helpful with using wGET...

But ultimately I had to write a special program to do it.

If you just want topics in HTTrack, you probably just have to include the
...showtopic.php?t=12345 as the only url to accept, go down the max levels and
just let it go.
