OFF-LINE web experience

I would like to share important Software (with link) that really helps during our training/presentation sessions. We need to show some of websites during such discussion, eg, educationinindia.org, intel.com/education, or some others. It’s really good if we have internet with the good speed.

BUT what if we don’t have internet ATALL and we want to use this websites as we are using it often, with same internet experience. For this OFF-LINE web experience, we need to Create A MIRROR image of this website with help of this software name:- HTTRACKER
HTTrack is a free (GPL, libre/free software) and easy-to-use offline browser utility.
It allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory(on computer’s Hard Disk), building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure. Simply open a page of the "mirrored" website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online. HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. HTTrack is fully configurable, and has an integrated help system.

WinHTTrack is the Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP release of HTTrack, and WebHTTrack the Linux/Unix/BSD release.
Website:- http://www.httrack.com/
Installation Link:- http://www.httrack.com/page/2/en/index.html
So, have a off-line websites for hassle free presentation/training.
Please revert back for any clarification.
