I think the browser, on request, should be able to download all the pages in a certain site while he/she goes and eats something, etc. The question is... How will the browser know when the site ends and others begin. I mean, if the browser wasn't given limits, it could download the WHOLE WEB! Also, it might download a site more than once. Obviously, a user would have to limit (A)number of pages downloaded (B)how many levels of links to execute (C)the domains that are allowed or a combination of the 3. Obviously, you would be able to stop it. It would also be able to recover on messed up pages. Pages predownloaded would be stored in a special cache dir and could be copied to another part of the disk to save. All images, etc. would be downloaded with the pages - therefore, you could copy a whole site to the hard disk with, of course, certain restrictions. IE - you couldn't copy cgis. Another idea I have is that someone can post a site map file to the site. The browser could then open this file and download the pages by how the sitemap file lists them. The user could even view the sitemap file and select which parts he/she wants to download. The sitemap file would contain the data to construct a tree. Each node could have a name, description, size info, and url.
