Re: [Bug-wget] New to list and program

[Darshit Shah]

Hi Annette,

This is absolutely the perfect place for you to ask questions and get help.
We'd be glad to help you archive your message board.

With wget, the basic command you should need is:

$ wget -m <link to the board>

This will invoke Wget in the mirror mode which tries to make a perfect local
copy of the website. If it doesn't work to your taste, you can come back to us
and we'll help you to tweak the options to get it just right.

However, before you attempt to do this, may I suggest you go through The
Internet Archive (https://archive.org). They might already have a full backup
of the website which you can browse and even download locally.
