I am looking for a tool which can save a www-page + imbedded images +
references style sheets to some folder, so that I can view this page
later offline.
How about wget?
FYI -
GNU Wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of files from
the Web. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, as well as
retrieval through HTTP proxies.
Wget is non-interactive, meaning that it can work in the background,
while the user is not logged on. This allows you to start a retrieval
and disconnect from the system, letting Wget finish the work. By
contrast, most of the Web browsers require constant user's presence,
which can be a great hindrance when transferring a lot of data.
Wget can follow links in HTML pages and create local versions of remote
web sites, fully recreating the directory structure of the original
site. This is sometimes referred to as ``recursive downloading.''
While doing that, Wget respects the Robot Exclusion Standard
(/robots.txt). Wget can be instructed to convert the links in
downloaded HTML files to the local files for offline viewing.
Wget has been designed for robustness over slow or unstable network
connections; if a download fails due to a network prob-lem, i twill keep
retrying until the whole file has been retrieved. If the server
supports regetting, it will instruct theserver to continue the download
from where it left off.
