Download an entire website with wget, along with assets.

wget.sh

# One liner
wget --recursive --page-requisites --adjust-extension --span-hosts --convert-links --restrict-file-names=windows --domains yoursite.com --no-parent yoursite.com

# Explained
wget \
     --recursive \ # Download the whole site.
     --page-requisites \ # Get all assets/elements (CSS/JS/images).
     --adjust-extension \ # Save files with .html on the end.
     --span-hosts \ # Include necessary assets from offsite as well.
     --convert-links \ # Update links to still work in the static version.
     --restrict-file-names=windows \ # Modify filenames to work in Windows as well.
     --domains yoursite.com \ # Do not follow links outside this domain.
     --no-parent \ # Don't follow links outside the directory you pass in.
         yoursite.com/whatever/path # The URL to download

If you're going to use --recursive, then you need to use --level, and you should probably be polite and use --wait

Aggregating this command with other blog posts on the internet, I ended up using

wget --mirror --no-clobber --page-requisites --adjust-extension --span-hosts --convert-links --restrict-file-names=windows --domains {{DOMAINS}} --no-parent {{URL}}

@fazlearefin thanks

My file names end with @ver=xx. How do I fix this?

wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent https://web.archive.org/web/20210628062523/https://www.ps-survival.com/PS/Hydro-Power/index.htm

Will download the .pdf

But if I change the domain to https://web.archive.org/web/20220118034512/https://ps-survival.com/PS/index.htm

IT doesn't go down and download the PDF's

Could someone tell me why that is? I'm trying to download all the PDF's.

@iceguru I'd try using an archive downloader. Wget doesn't play nicely with how they have it setup:

I am also eyeing for this repo, since it can be directly hooked up to LLMs for use instead of using wget indirectly. https://pypi.org/project/pywebcopy/

Recently discovered random-wait as an option from here, should be included to make things less sus https://gist.github.com/stvhwrd/985dedbe1d3329e68d70

Just realized that --no-cobbler and --mirror conflicted, and such should use -l inf --recursive instead? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13092229/cant-resume-wget-mirror-with-no-clobber-c-f-b-unhelpful
