Is there any free application for downloading an entire site installable on Mac OS X 10.6?
8 Answers
I've always loved the name of this one: SiteSucker.
UPDATE: Versions 2.5 and above are not free any more. You may still be able to download earlier versions from their website.

2@JohnK looks like they changed policy for 2.5.x and above, but earlier versions are still available for free from sitesucker.us/mac/versions2.html. Sep 17, 2014 at 17:46

2@GrzegorzAdamHankiewicz is right, you can download 2.4.6 free from their site here - ricks-apps.com/osx/sitesucker/archive/2.x/2.4.x/2.4.6/…– csilkApr 11, 2017 at 4:25

You can use wget with it's --mirror
switch.
wget --mirror –w 2 –p --HTML-extension –-convert-links –P /home/user/sitecopy/
man page for additional switches here.
For OSX, you can easily install wget
(and other command line tools) using brew
.
If using the command line is too difficult, then CocoaWget is an OS X GUI for wget
. (Version 2.7.0 includes wget 1.11.4 from June 2008, but it works fine.)

7wget is brilliant software, it's a one-stop-shop for any downloading you might fancy.– PhoshiNov 8, 2009 at 20:15

4Wget is great. I use
wget --page-requisites --adjust-extension --convert-links
when i want to download single but complete pages (articles etc). Feb 4, 2012 at 15:05 -

HTTrack: http://www.httrack.com.
Found in macOS Homebrew.
Provides ports to Windows, Linux-es, and macOS. Command-line utility on (seemingly?) all OSes, GUI options on some.
SiteSuuker has already been recommended and it does a decent job for most websites.
I also find DeepVacuum to be a handy and simple tool with some useful "presets".
Screenshot is attached below.

I use this on leopard, not sure if it will work on snow leopard, but worth a try
pavuk is by far the best option ... It is command line but has an X-Windows GUI if you install this from the Installation Disk or download. Perhaps someone could write a Aqua shell for it.
pavuk will even find links in external javascript files that are referenced and point these to the local distribution if you use the -mode sync or -mode mirror options.
It is available through the os x ports project, install port and type
port install pavuk
Lots of options (a forest of options).
A1 Website Download for Mac
It has presets for various common site download tasks and many options for those who wish to configure in detail. Includes UI + CLI support.
Starts as a 30 days trial after which is turns into "free mode" (still suitable for small websites under 500 pages)
Use curl, it's installed by default in OS X. wget isn't, at least not on my machine, (Leopard).
Typing:
curl http://www.thewebsite.com/ > dump.html
Will download to the file, dump.html in your current folder

Main problem with that is that that's downloading the homepage, not the entire website.– PhoshiNov 8, 2009 at 21:58

2Last I checked,
curl
doesn't do recursive downloads (that is, it can't follow hyperlinks to download linked resources like other web pages). Thus, you can't really mirror a whole website with it. Nov 9, 2009 at 0:05 -
Well, then do a quick script to get the links, we are in command line land right? Otherwise, just use a tool with a graphical front end.– FredNov 9, 2009 at 0:54
