Have you considered using "Spiderzilla" it will download an entire website
to the local file system, is highly configurable and easy to use - just aim
it at a web site, choose your options and click on the 'mirror' button - and
go for a cup of coffee or two (or three). 

For larger sites - you leave it running over night.

Available as a plugin for mozilla/firebird on Linux and Windows.
