Hi guys,

I want to download a few samples of pages - just a link depth of 1 or 2 - to
help my student demo the performance of a few broadband setups he's working
on.

I saw that Nasa's site <http://www.nasa.gov> is jam-packed with stuff on its
opening page so thought that would be a good example - a slow connection
should be obvious here.

I trialled some downloads and found that upon viewing the pages in Internet
Explorer, Chrome or Firefox I didn't get the backgrounds or slick presentation
of the site, even though it appears things like CSS and Javascript files were
downloaded fine. (and these should be enabled in the browsers I'm using)

The content appears to be there, e.g. images, text, and menu text even drops
down when I hover over it near the top of the page. However the layout is all
over the place, with text overlapping, plenty of whitespace, no dark starry
background, etc... so it's a bit annoying to be so close yet so far from
making the demo look good.

Is Nasa simply too complex for HTTrack or should I use some unusual settings? 
Does it work for anyone else?(I had similar problems on some other sites too,
though a small BBC news download did seem to work properly once with Firefox)

By the way I think HTTrack is fantastic, so hats off to all those who've
contributed over the years!

Nick.
