wtf is httrack?

HTTrack is a tool that copies entire websites from the internet to your computer so you can browse them offline. You point it at a website, and it downloads all the pages, images, and other files, keeping the links between pages intact so everything still works when you open the saved files in a browser. The basic idea is that once the download is complete, you open any page from the saved copy on your local computer and navigate from link to link just as you would on the live site. If you have a slow or unreliable connection, or simply want access to a site when you are not online, this is the problem HTTrack solves. HTTrack also supports updating a previously saved copy of a site, so you do not have to re-download everything from scratch if the site has changed. It can also pick up where it left off if a download was interrupted. The tool is described as fully configurable and includes a built-in help system, though the README itself is brief and does not detail what those configuration options cover. There are two versions: WinHTTrack for Windows and WebHTTrack for Linux, Unix, and BSD systems. Both come from the same codebase in this repository. If you want to build it yourself from the source code, the README provides a short sequence of terminal commands to clone the repository and compile it. This is the official development repository for the project. The main website at httrack.com is where you would go for downloads, documentation, and more background on the tool. The project is written in C and has accumulated a few thousand stars on GitHub, suggesting it has been useful to a broad range of people over the years.
