Using the Windoze 64 bit version (my Linux Mint box needs a storage
upgrade), I downloaded about 40MBytes of https://www.sheldonbrown.com.
I can see view web pages, so HTTrack seems to be working. However,
it's midnight, so I'll stop here and continue tomorrow.
When the dust settles please post how much space the site takes.
If it's not too outrageous I might snag a copy for myself if it
looks like the original is going away. .
I don't think it's going away. Most likely, it will be saved on
archive.org.
It just finished downloading.

I compressed everything into a 1.7GB zip file. Not much of a size
improvement.
The download included some offsite documents and images that HTTrack
picked up along the way. If you're going to try it yourself, you will
probably run into a download speed problem. I had 8 streams going,
but the web server limited me to an average of 250 Kbits/sec. That's
a good thing because it prevents evil downloaders like me from
monopolizing the server.
I don't want to pass around copies until I get permission from John
Allen and/or Harriet Fell. Today (June 13) is the closing day, and I
really don't want to bother them right now. My main concern is to
make sure nothing is lost and that's mostly accoplished (after I check
the download to make sure there's no corruption).
If you need screen dumps of the HTTrack settings that I used, bug me
and I'll throw something together.
