Howto Download ZDOOM Wiki?

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to download the ZDOOM Wiki page with WinHTTrack but it fails as soon as it starts. Anyone know of a way?

I've got no net at home so I need to do this badly.

I can't remember who posted this originally (Nash?) but I copied it from either the Zdoom or the GZdoom forum.

Step 1) Go to http://www.httrack.com/ and download it.
You'd want to download the no-installer version to speed up the process.

Step 2) Run WinHTTrack.exe, File -> New Project, press Next.
Enter "ZDoom Wiki" as the project name, then look at "Base path".
Click the button that says "..." and choose a folder to save the
ZDoom wiki to. Click Next.

Step 3) Enter this into the web address box:
http://www.zdoom.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

Step 4) Click "Set Options". Go to the "Scan Rules" tab and you
should see a box with a bunch of stuff. Clear that box and put this:

-*Special:*
-*Talk:*
-*User:*
-*&action=*
-*&printable=*

... and press OK. Then hit Next.

Step 5) Hit Next again; don't touch the other options.
Sit back and wait! The Wiki will be downloaded to your hard disk
and you can bring it home for offline viewing.

I'd ask the wiki admins for permission to do that, especially if it doesn't wait at least a few seconds between downloading each page.
