Pretty cool, that's why I say that I don't know of

That is literally saving the website to a temp directory. Why not just do it once instead of twice?
-
@black3dynamite said in Downloading full Website offline:
But does it really not download everything? Websites don't report on the size directly AFAIK.

Right, which is what I had originally said you could do. And doing so to a temp directory is STILL downloading the whole thing - the very thing you are trying to avoid.

No, he'd have to pass a cookie to do that.

I am not.

@scottalanmiller okay. . .
So I know exactly why @dbeato is going through this process. The followup is then, how do you sort out the things you don't want from the website and retain those for later?

Using

Using--no-directories, tells wget to create empty directories. -

Using--no-directories, tells wget to create empty directories.So it gets it all from "Content Length"? Interesting. Guess that would work.
