• replayweb.page

  24 611 7.6 TypeScript

  Serverless replay of web archives directly in the browser

  

github.com/Archiveteam/grab-site is quite simple, and you could probably easily whip up a script. It does use WARC, but there's a very good site called https://replayweb.page that renders most pages well ... catch is, grab-site doesn't run JavaScript, so sites that require JS to load the images will probably not get the images.

• savepagenow

  456 164 7.0 Python

  A simple Python wrapper and command-line interface for archive.org’s "Save Page Now" capturing service

  

You can use Firefox to download Web pages in HTML easily, just press "F10" and a menu should appear on the top, then click on "File" and then "save as" to save it where you want. Although this doesn't do crawling, because it's very quick, you could save each link manualy. An other option which does crawling would be to save the pages in the wayback machine, although it doesn't save the pages in your computer, it makes them available for everyone to see.
