I havent played around much with 'Offline Browser/copier' software. So I'm playing with WebCopier ™ 4.5 at the moment.

Played around with it. Found it very easy to user. I quite like the Tip by tip steps the WebCopier 4.5 offers. A useful tool for uni students or even web-developers. The following lists it's main features: -

-WebCopier for Windows is a multifunction offline browser designed to run under Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.

-It is a powerful tool that copies websites and stores them locally, on your system, until you are ready to view them.

-Once you've copied a site, you have access to its information at any time, no matter where you are.

-You can take webpages (product literature, support information, etc.) on business trips and have instant access to them on your laptop -- no Internet connection required.

-Use WebCopier to copy entire websites, or only specific directories.

-WebCopier follows links precisely, including JavaScript parsing. It can download up to 100 files simultaneously.

-WebCopier can print entire websites or only specific part of them.

-Provides support for JavaScript (.js), Java Classes (.class) and Macromedia Flash (.swf) files.

-WebCopier supports proxy servers, and allows you to specify a user name and password to access secure websites.

-The File and URL Filters give you full control over which files are copied, and which are skipped.

-Use the Integrated browser to view the downloaded pages or to browse the Internet.

-WebCopier stores all paths in relative form, so files can be moved easily to another computer, CD, backup device.

-WebCopier is very easy to use
