About Httrack

HTTrack is an offline browser utility that downloads a website from the internet into a local directory. It recursively builds the directory structure and retrieves HTML, images and other files from the server. It rewrites the site's relative links so that a saved copy can be opened in a browser and navigated from link to link as if it were online.

The repository is the official source code for the HTTrack Website Copier. It can update an existing mirrored site and resume interrupted downloads, and the software is described as fully configurable with an integrated help system. The repository is aimed at developers: a git checkout contains only autotools sources and needs autoconf, automake and libtool before it can be built. The project is licensed under GPL-3.0.
