| httrack is a wonderful tool!
I just finished a mirror of a 5GB site
(haven't checked yet whether or not everything is correct,
though :-)
What I have nioticed,however, is that it seems to me that
httrack's cache (hts-cache) occupies pretty much disk space.
In my case, the mirrored site needs about 4.7 GB,
and the cache needs about 0.6 GB -- that is about 1/8 of the
mirrored site itself!
I suspect there is room for improvement here.
(Just for your info: the site contains quite a lot of
images; i don't know if the cache would be smaller with just
plain html files.)
Cheers,
Gab.
