    <p>
      WebHTTrack is the web interface to HTTrack, an offline browser utility.
      It downloads a website from the Internet to a local directory, fetching
      the HTML, images, and other files and rebuilding the site's link
      structure so you can browse it offline.
    </p>
    <p>
      A step-by-step web interface guides you through choosing the addresses
      to mirror and the options to apply. Mirrors can be updated in place and
      interrupted downloads resumed.
    </p>
    <p>Typical uses include:</p>
    <ul>
      <li>Keeping an offline copy of a website for reading without a connection</li>
      <li>Archiving or preserving sites and capturing them for later reference</li>
      <li>Updating an existing local mirror without downloading it again</li>
    </ul>
