Thank you! I'll add it as an issue, since it could definitely be useful for "archiving" certain resources more than 1 level deep. Do you remember the name of that tool by any chance?
I wish I could remember the exact tool, this was over a decade ago. If you just do a quick internet search for such a tool you'll likely find whatever I used, it certainly wasn't anything sophisticated. It was a Windows GUI tool designed specifically for the task. Something makes me think that 'GetRight' tool might have been able to do the same thing, but I can't seem to see the feature on their website.
Ah, I remember using something like that. I thought that tool was saving it into one .html file, but data URLs didn't exist back then, so creating directories alongside with HTML files was the only option to "replicate" a web resource, now I understand exactly what you were talking about. I'll do some more digging around and implement that in the nearest future. I may need to make all the requests async first to make sure that saving one resource with decent depth won't take too long.
yes, "teleport pro" for win98, you could scrape a site and duplicate locally or scrape only for specific file type or size, had recursive link follow depth option and created several threads for the requests(sniff)
