I have a subscription to an online textbook but i would like to download it and transfer it to my pda for offline use. Legalities aside, is there a program out there that can easily do this?

The man page for wget says it can spider a website following the rules of a website's robot.txt, thus reconstructing it.Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra 9, Opteron 170 Denmark 2x2Ghz, 2 GB Corsair XMS, Gigabyte 6600, Gentoo Linux

I often have to force wget to ignore robots.txt, and/or report that it's Netscape in its user agent string. A lot of websites don't want to be mirrored.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.

hmm.. the site doesn't seem to like the robots.txt, but if i ignore that it reports no further errors but wont process the site. If anyone wants to help - pm and i'll give you the url, username and password and perhaps you can help me figure out the settings.... cheers lads!The Welsh support two teams when it comes to rugby.

Wombat, could you just give me quick info how to set wget that it'll download absolutelly everything? HTTrack and Getleft seem to omit some extensions...(or is there a way to force them to download everything?)
edit: I realised I have a better way. I have list (txt) with all the links. All of them. Many...
How to feed it into wget?
edit2: oh, and one more thing:
if link is
http://main url/directory1/file
I want it to go into subdirectory "directory1"
if link is
Http://main url/directory2...you get the idea.Last edited by Nowhere; 22 June 2005, 03:15.
