I used this to download a library of ebooks for reading offline. It simple and easy to set up and configure. Still great after all this time :) And its free!!
Would like it compiled as a Universal Binary ... please. :)

All I can say is: "Wow!" I found a page containing almost 400 mp3s I wanted to download and was faced with the prospect of clicking and downloading, and clicking and downloading, and clicking and downloading, etc., etc., etc. for hours and hours and then I found this little FREE program and it downloaded ALL of them while I went out to lunch... bing, bang, boom! Like I said: "Wow!"
Super for legit uses too(!)

I was looking for something like this, as I had to review two of my clients sites and I needed them to be offline. BINGO! Better price than WebWhacker and works extremely well. Both of my client's commercial sites were downloaded intact in no time (and that was on 56k dialup!). As noted by others here, there is hardly any documentation included on how to do this, but I was able to figure it out after a couple of false starts. The author also has a link on his site where one may get further indepth info, as this is a 'Mac' port (of sorts) with roots in the Linux/Unix world(?). Guys like this should be Sainted for the wonderful contribution they make to the Mac community. The other guys who come immediately to mind are the fellows who created OnyX and QuickCalendar. Thanks a lot guys, we really appreciate your efforts! (BTW-They all accept donations) Highly recommended!
Worked great from transitioning from Blogger to Moveable Type

I'm transitioning the content of my blog from Blogger to Moveable Type, following the (well-written) instructions here:
http://prete.ntio.us/archives/2005/03/how_to_migrate_your_weblog_from_blogger_to_movable_type.html
None of the programs I tried before this, including the command-line version of HTTrack (couldn't get it to build, some error about recv being defined twice), BlueCrab, WebSucker, or PictoGrab could do the simple task this program does easily and painlessly: download not only the images inline on the page (which all programs seemed to do pretty easily), but also the linked BIG versions of the images too.
All I had to do was add a simple restriction under the "Filter" tab, adding the text "photos1.blogger.com" to the Allowed Domains field (you can find this out pretty easily by looking at the URL of one of your Blogger photos). From there I just punched in my blog address on the "Standard Options" tab and bam! Photos downloaded. Beautiful work.

Very simple and does the job

Great. I love a piece of software that is tight, simple and just gets on with the job. Downloaded, installed, configured and used in about ten minutes -- luvverly! (Could maybe do with a little documentation for the less experienced user.)
Hmm...

Did not download the web pages how I wanted, so I turned to PageSucker X.

works like a charm and saved me a lot of work at a meeting, where i had to present a website...
I've tested Webgrabber with another site, and it did a recursive download as advertised. What is it about Blogger that is preventing this?
