Hello,

I would like to get an offline version of my (Rails) Website.  
Which technique/software would you recommend?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!  
Thomas.

The command-line utility wget does exactly what you need. You can  
specify whether it should follow links from your website to other  
domains, the maximum depth it should go to and so on.

And if you want a website sucker, just go to [Versiontracker.com](http://Versiontracker.com) and  
search for “download website”
