Macxtrem.com just went offline and I need to download the entire site so I can attempt to rehost it. I need a folder that I can just host on my PowerMac in a sub directory of my starpc.us (currently offline site). HTTrack Website Copier lets you easily store and view your favorite Web sites offline. Instead of supplying a built-in browser, your stored pages can be quickly viewed in your designated browser.
How can I download all pages from a website?
Any platform is fine.

HTTRACK works like a champ for copying the contents of an entire site. This tool can even grab the pieces needed to make a website with active code content work offline. I am amazed at the stuff it can replicate offline.
This program will do all you require of it.
Happy hunting!
Wget is a classic command-line tool for this kind of task. It comes with most Unix/Linux systems, and you can get it for Windows too. On a Mac, Homebrew is the easiest way to install it (brew install wget).
You'd do something like:
For more details, see Wget Manual and its examples, or e.g. these:
You should take a look at ScrapBook, a Firefox extension. It has an in-depth capture mode.
Internet Download Manager has a Site Grabber utility with a lot of options - which lets you completely download any website you want, the way you want it.
You can set the limit on the size of the pages/files to download
You can set the number of branch sites to visit
You can change the way scripts/popups/duplicates behave
You can specify a domain, only under that domain all the pages/files meeting the required settings will be downloaded
The links can be converted to offline links for browsing
You have templates which let you choose the above settings for you
The software is not free however - see if it suits your needs, use the evaluation version.
I'll address the online buffering that browsers use...
Typically most browsers use a browsing cache to keep the files you download from a website around for a bit so that you do not have to download static images and content over and over again. This can speed up things quite a bit under some circumstances. Generally speaking, most browser caches are limited to a fixed size and when it hits that limit, it will delete the oldest files in the cache.
ISPs tend to have caching servers that keep copies of commonly accessed websites like ESPN and CNN. This saves them the trouble of hitting these sites every time someone on their network goes there. This can amount to a significant savings in the amount of duplicated requests to external sites to the ISP.
I like Offline Explorer.
It's a shareware, but it's very good and easy to use.
I have not done this in many years, but there are still a few utilities out there. You might want to try Web Snake.I believe I used it years ago. I remembered the name right away when I read your question.
I agree with Stecy. Please do not hammer their site. Very Bad.
Try BackStreet Browser.
It is a free, powerful offline browser. A high-speed, multi-threading website download and viewing program. By making multiple simultaneous server requests, BackStreet Browser can quickly download entire website or part of a site including HTML, graphics, Java Applets, sound and other user definable files, and saves all the files in your hard drive, either in their native format, or as a compressed ZIP file and view offline.
Teleport Pro is another free solution that will copy down any and all files from whatever your target is (also has a paid version which will allow you to pull more pages of content).
DownThemAll is a Firefox add-on that will download all the content (audio or video files, for example) for a particular web page in a single click. This doesn't download the entire site, but this may be sort of thing the question was looking for.
For Linux and OS X: I wrote grab-site for archiving entire websites to WARC files. These WARC files can be browsed or extracted. grab-site lets you control which URLs to skip using regular expressions, and these can be changed when the crawl is running. It also comes with an extensive set of defaults for ignoring junk URLs.
There is a web dashboard for monitoring crawls, as well as additional options for skipping video content or responses over a certain size.
While wget was already mentioned this resource and command line was so seamless I thought it deserved mention:wget -P /path/to/destination/directory/ -mpck --user-agent=' -e robots=off --wait 1 -E https://www.example.com/
The venerable FreeDownloadManager.org has this feature too.
Free Download Manager has it in two forms in two forms: Site Explorer and Site Spider:
Site Explorer
Site Explorer lets you view the folders structure of a web site and easily download necessary files or folders.
HTML Spider
You can download whole web pages or even whole web sites with HTML Spider. The tool can be adjusted to download files with specified extensions only.
I find Site Explorer is useful to see which folders to include/exclude before you attempt attempt to download the whole site - especially when there is an entire forum hiding in the site that you don't want to download for example.
download HTTracker it will download websites very easy steps to follows.

video that help may help you :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IHIGf6lcL4
Firefox can do it natively (at least FF 42 can). Just use 'Save Page'
I believe google chrome can do this on desktop devices, just go to the browser menu and click save webpage.
Also note that services like pocket may not actually save the website, and are thus susceptible to link rot.
Lastly note that copying the contents of a website may infringe on copyright, if it applies.

Description
SiteSucker is a Macintosh application that automatically downloads websites from the Internet. It does this by asynchronously copying the site's webpages, images, PDFs, style sheets, and other files to your local hard drive, duplicating the site's directory structure. Just enter a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), press return, and SiteSucker can download an entire website.
SiteSucker can be used to make local copies of websites. By default, SiteSucker 'localizes' the files it downloads, allowing you to browse a site offline, but it can also download sites without modification.
You can save all the information about a download in a document. This allows you to create a document that you can use to perform the same download whenever you want. If SiteSucker is in the middle of a download when you choose the Save command, SiteSucker will pause the download and save its status with the document. When you open the document later, you can restart the download from where it left off by pressing the Resume button.

SiteSucker is made to run on Intel-based Macintosh computers and requires macOS 10.13 High Sierra, 10.14 Mojave, or greater. Of course, to download files, your computer will also need an Internet connection.
