There was a browser mentioned in one of the PC World blogs that can download large portions of web sites to view later on a PC that isn't connected to the web. Does anyone remember what it was called or where to find it?

IE used to be able to do (to some degree at least), but it appears the Micro$oft removed that function in IE 7 (don't know if they maybe added it back in for IE 8). Safari does not appear to offer that ability (at least not with the Windoze version). Firefox appears to have some rather limited ability (i.e. it appears you might be able store the current page).

Don't know if that will help or not.

Hi, [~39874].
Thanks. The article to which you linked looks very helpful. It recommended HTTrack which is something that I had heard of but wasn't sure if I should use it. I found Wysigot which is what I was looking for, but if anything goes wrong, that article is going to help.
