I would like to save this webpage and all the pages it links to. and hope to have the same linking between the saved webpages.

Are there some ways instead of opening and saving each linked pages?

You can do what you'd like with the wget command line utility. If you provide it with the -r option, it will recursively download web pages. For example:

wget -r http://mat.gsia.cmu.edu/orclass/integer/integer.html

This will download that webpage and anything it links to. You can also make it only recurse a certain number of levels, to do this, you simply provide -r with a number. Like such:

wget -r 5 http://mat.gsia.cmu.edu/orclass/integer/integer.html

@Mark: Thanks! I now try to download mat.gsia.cmu.edu/orclass and the pages it links using command wget -r mat.gsia.cmu.edu/orclass. wget will create a directory mat.gsia.cmu.edu under the one I specified and download the pages under it. But the links between the downloaded pages does not have mat.gsia.cmu.edu in their paths, so it becomes a problem and I cannot go from one page to another by clicking the links. I was wondering why and how to solve the problem? Thanks! – Tim Apr 23 '11 at 14:33
I don't think that you can recursively download external links, @Tim. – Wuffers Apr 23 '11 at 16:11
Does "external links" mean those not under the current path? – Tim Apr 23 '11 at 16:39
@Tim: By external links I mean links that refer outside of mat.gsi.cmu.edu – Wuffers Apr 23 '11 at 16:40
Thanks! Is mat.gsia.cmu.edu/classes/integer/integer.html outside of mat.gsi.cmu.edu or of mat.gsia.cmu.edu/orclass ? mat.gsia.cmu.edu/orclass is what I used in command wget, and the downloaded wegpage of mat.gsia.cmu.edu/classes/integer/integer.html is not directable from the downloaded page of mat.gsia.cmu.edu/orclass – Tim Apr 23 '11 at 16:51

You can use a website crawler like httrack, which is free.

From the website;

[httrack] allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure. Simply open a page of the "mirrored" website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online.
