Wow. The front page contains potentially tens of websites, 
so be extremely careful. Anyway - the best solution might 
be to use "Download all sites in pages" AND limit the depth 
to 2 (Set Options / limits / Maximum mirroring depth), but 
ensure that the mirror does not starts to download 
verything. And setting up a lower bandwidth limit might 
also be a good idea.
