Downloading an Entire Web Site with wget

If you ever need to download an entire Web site, perhaps for off-line viewing, wget can do the
job—for example:
$ wget \
     --recursive \
     --no-clobber \
     --page-requisites \
     --html-extension \
     --convert-links \
     --restrict-file-names=windows \
     --domains website.org \
     --no-parent \
         www.website.org/tutorials/html/
This command downloads the Web site www.website.org/tutorials/html/.
The options are:
  • --recursive: download the entire Web site.
  • --domains website.org: don't follow links outside website.org.
  • --no-parent: don't follow links outside the directory tutorials/html/.
  • --page-requisites: get all the elements that compose the page (images, CSS and so on).
  • --html-extension: save files with the .html extension.
  • --convert-links: convert links so that they work locally, off-line.
  • --restrict-file-names=windows: modify filenames so that they will work in Windows as well.
  • --no-clobber: don't overwrite any existing files (used in case the download is interrupted and
    resumed).

 Note: by default the location of saved website is the absolute path where u have fired your command.Name of the website folder is name of website itself.
