It would have been great if the author had mentioned the very important "how not to use"[1] text on httrack's site.
As an admin of a multi-gigabyte site I regularly have to deal with people who use httrack or similar tools without regard for bandwidth and cpu usage on the server side. "Dealing with" means to do binary traffic shaping via routing into a black hole.
