I’ve been looking online for ways to download websites (game wikis mostly), in order to have them all in my collection and ensure that they dont get taken down or changed.

After trying linkwarden, which is fine for singular web pages, one has to manually link each individual page of the wiki in order to make a pdf.

With this in mind, the only other option that I’ve discovered is using wget recursively. Do any you of you have experience with this or reccomend alternative ideas? Any and all help is appreciated.

PS: I will most likely download official game guides which will cover most of the games, but looking for something to cover all my games library.

I’ve used wget to mirror websites. It works very well.

Wget2 can mirror websites also, and it also has the advantage of the following features that wget does not have:

  • downloads multiple files in parallel, speeding things up a lot
  • brotli and zstd compression support
  • uses multiple proxies for parallel downloads
  • supports sitemap indexes
  • http2 support
