I'm trying to download a website (and its graphics) onto my two laptops for off-line viewing.

Resources: (What I have to do the job)
I have two laptops with no modem cards in either. Standalone. They do both have USB ports.
I have a portable drive with USB connection.
And I have this PC with internet access.

I want to find the cleanest, easiest way to move the whole website to both laptops. Including graphics. How can I download an entire website to both laptops?

Your helpful recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

httrack or winhttrack.

This is a great way to, for example, capture online documentation for local use. I've used it to download parts of travel sites to my notebook to take with me on vacation, as well.

It has a zillion options, but by default it will modify the URLs on the pages in such a way that the site can be viewed locally.

If you happen to have a copy of FrontPage that will work as well.

If the site is large it may be a good idea to notify the site owner. You probably owe him at least that.
