Hi I am going on a trip and it would be an indispensable resource to have an
English <http://wikitravel.org/en/Main_Page> of the site with my on my laptop
(and Archos 5 and PocketPC...)

it's not that big - 28,000 pages

there is an outdated copy w/o images available at
<http://wikitravel.org/en/Wikitravel:Offline_Reader_Expedition>

and they are even suggesting right on the page that:

"Since there are no database dumps available yet you might try to use httrack
to download all pages."

I am using <http://www.httrack.com/> to download all of
<http://wikitravel.org/en/>* (English) but am having issues excluding other
languages and etc...

This would be a great asset to me and other travelers to have (I would post a
link to a .zip for others to get)

maybe you could try to download it and see if you get the rules/settings right
and then specify the exact settings used to succeed or maybe just post a link
to the .zip

Thank you so much...
