Don't be stupid.  It's legal when it's a government data source, which by law can't be copyrighted.  Get a clue.  ???

You also have to realize that 99% of people wanting to do this are people trying to steal content. I've been a victim twice. I've also had clients that have been victims. It's a nasty battle to try and get that content taken down ....

Anyways, to answer your question... you can use a linux command "wget".

Code: Select all

wget -r --progress=binary -w1 -Q1000m -v -t3 -nH -np -k -l10 -Dwww.yoursite.com http://www.yoursite/index.html
