- ensure that you have accepted all images (set 
options/scan rules: you should ensure that +*.gif +*.jpg is 
present)

- ensure that you are also downloading html files that 
embed the links to these images, or httrack won't be able 
to detect them!

- the site might be using some complex javascripting which 
prevent offline browsers from downloading the images 
(httrack can parse simple javascript, not "complex" one)
