Title: Mirroring GLua Wiki
Post by: MrPresident on July 17, 2010, 04:24:44 AM

For my own personal use, I found a program that let me basically mirror any website I wanted to. I set it up to mirror the GMod Lua wiki because one of the major obstacles to me being able to code out here or when I'm traveling is because I don't have access to the wiki which I need on occasion. I set it up to go 3 levels deep starting at http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Lua. So far it's grabbed about 1200 files and it's not even close to being done. It's at about 20MB and counting.

I'm just letting you guys know that once it's done I can zip it and upload it somewhere if anyone else is interested in having it for personal use. I wouldn't recommend trying to host it or anything, but there is no harm in having an offline copy of the wiki for personal use.

Anyways, if anyone is interested, let me know and I can upload it when I get back from Iraq in a few weeks.

No idea what MrPresident is using, but, wget is strong in the ways of the web force.

I think it's called something like HTTTrack or HTTPTrack or something like that. It's on my laptop.

Ah.HtTrack (http://tipotheday.com/2007/08/23/move-over-wget-mirroring-sites-with-httrack/) [link is to a blog about wget vs httrack.
I'm an old school wget user. Will keep httrack in mind if I ever need something like either again.

Yeah, it's not the easiest to use, but it's very thorough and the way it puts together the web pages is nice.
