Hey guys I've been seeing all these site rips and I wanna know how people do it, I'll probably only use it a couple times but it sounds like an awesome thing to know. Thanks for any help!

try these

Wouldn't ripping sites just copy everything (name of site, titles, pics etc.) Or does HTTrack let you change all this?
Seems like something that could be fun to pursue over the summer.
x64bit system btw.

On HT you set the level of the rip, 3 deep, 4 deep etc so you customise according to the website. You can specify only pics or vid or filetype mp3 etc. Takes a bit of messing around with to get used to, choose a simple website to practice on not one thats got zillions of GB of data, but can be handy. Pretty much allows you to browse the entire site offline with no lag or just rip out all the video files to save clicking through dozens of links.
