Have used for this purpose a few times, may need to do a little tidying up of urls, and some css linked images might not make it, depends on how good a job you want to do.
If you have dreamweaver, you can use that to manage the links if you need to clean up the file names afterwards.
Optionally use the link checker extension for firefox to check it all afterwards.

Answer 3

Another solution is wget.

Answer 4

I've had good luck with WebZip.

Answer 5

You could use OfflineExplorer: http://www.metaproducts.com/mp/Offline_Explorer.htm

This works well as long as you only have GET requests (links). Postbacks will not be executed. Be aware that crawling your site might acually change the underlying database so I would strongly recommend you back up the database and web before using a crawler.
