I assume that you are talking about the Which website? I had a look at their terms and all I could find that was relevant was, "Please ensure any content you print, copy or download from our websites is for your personal use only."WhiteChristmas wrote: »It's only right to point out that such activity on copyrighted websites is very naughty.
This would suggest that what you are doing is OK. I am not saying that Which would encourage it but your subscription does give permsission to download stuff for your personal use and I think that is all that you are doing.

IE used to have a built in way (still might, can't see the option now), you just select how many levels 'deep' you want to save. Choose too many and you end up backing the entire internet up.
As for saying its copyright and naughty etc etc, your temp internet files stores local copies of the pages anyway... IMO, it is no different than recording some film from your TV to a DVD.0 -

That would be a big backup file :T It would also be backing up for eternity.....it is no different than recording some film from your TV to a DVD.
Which is illegal if you care about such laws.
There is no issue ripping or 'cloning' a site or anything on a site as long as you don't use it for personal use. To be honest, unless you were planning ripping a site and passing it off as your own you will be fine.0 -

Also good for setting the download speed so you can set and forget and more importantly, you're not hammering your bandwidth or that of the websites hosting.My son is now an ‘entrepreneur’. That’s what you’re called when you don’t have a job. – Ted Turner0 -
