Well, I just tried getting www.google.com with WinHTtrack 
3.23 (beta), let it go for about a minute, and it easily 
crawled 40+ pages with images, including that logo.gif 
mentioned above.  However I noticed these problems (some 
of which look like bugs to me...):

1.) you may have needed to be more general about the 
domain (use google.com instead of www.google.com) however 
the following results mean there is more at play...

2.) even when I included the more generic google.com on 
the project sites list, the local copy had problems with 
the links right above the search box (Images, Groups, 
Directory, News-New!)  When browsing the local copy, 
trying to access these links resulted in going to the web 
copy of the pages, however when I looked at the saved html 
pages, they were actually saved and ready to use.  The 
link you saw on mouseover, and you got by a right-click 
Copy Shortcut was correct, but not the link you got when 
it was actually clicked.

Perhaps this is a javascript issue?  The source of these 
html pages did appear to still contain a lot of 
www.google.com URLs that should have been rewritten to 
local URLs.
