An alternative to HTTrack.
pagehaul is an online alternative to HTTrack for the job most people opened a site mirror to do: getting the files off a page. HTTrack copies a whole site to disk for offline browsing. pagehaul opens one page in a real browser and lists every image, icon, font, video and 3D model on it, previewed and named, with nothing to install.
01What HTTrack is
HTTrack is a free, open-source (GPL) offline browser utility. It is a desktop program for Windows, macOS and Linux that downloads a website recursively to a local folder and keeps the link structure, so the copy can be browsed offline.
