[LINK] RFI: Mirroring Complete Web-Sites?

[Roger Clarke]

I need to urgently mirror a web-site, which is about to disappear
(don't ask, but assume bumbling governmental incompetencies).

I ought to know about things like this, but I don't
(don't criticise, but assume bumbling Rogerish incompetencies).

I can't get to a database that's in behind the site, but there's a 
great deal of HTML that's well worth rescuing.

I'm a mere user / member of the public, and have no ftp privileges, 
and my first attempts led nowhere (i.e. timed out).

In any case, can an anonymous ftp user do a recursive download?

Is there an easy way to do a bulk download within a browser?

I frequently mirror individual pages in Firefox 3.0.19, using
File / Save Page As ... / Web Page Complete

But I don't see a way to get it to follow links or directory-structures.
