SuckIT

SuckIT allows you to recursively visit and download a website's content to your disk.

SuckIT Logo

Features

  • Vacuums the entirety of a website recursively
  • Uses multithreading
  • Writes the website's content to your disk
  • Enables offline navigation
  • Offers random delays to avoid IP banning
  • Saves application state on CTRL-C for later pickup
