HTTrack Website Copier updated after 9 years

HTTrack Website Copier is a free, open-source offline browser utility that allows you to download an entire website from the Internet to a local directory.

Key Functions

• Local Mirroring: It builds all directories recursively, copying HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer.
• Link Reconstruction: It automatically arranges the original site's relative link-structure so you can browse the website offline exactly as if you were online.
• Update Capability: It can update an existing mirrored site and resume interrupted downloads.

Version 3.50-2 (09/11/2026)​

HTTrack 3.50 is out, nine years after the last packaged release: HTTPS, files past 2 GB, Windows paths past 260 characters, and WARC output.

Notably, after a 9-year hiatus without a packaged release, the software received a major update (Version 3.50) in September 2026. This critical update modernizes the tool by restoring HTTPS support (fixing outdated TLS issues), supporting files larger than 2 GB, expanding Windows path limits past 260 characters, and providing updated support for Android and responsive web structures like lazy-loaded images.

I've never heard of this website copier. It looks like a piece of useful software.
