web content saver for ubuntu?

hello,

 I am looking for something like "internet
saver" for windows. It stores
 complete pages, pdf files and pictures from the Internet
for later
 offline use.

 I was wondering if there is something like this for Ubuntu
and
 hopefully easy to manage.

Cheers,

There's a great command line tool called
"wget". It's installed on
Ubuntu by default. See also "man wget" or
"wget --help".

Basic usage:

To fetch a single file: 

wget http://some.server/filena
me

To fetch an entire website (but keep in mind that there are
legal
issues ...):

wget -r http://some.server/
some.directory

Thanks Dieter,

wget is great, but "internet saver" for windows
is an applet for IE or
Firefox and much more convenient.

Maybe there is a plugin for firfox etc. based on wget?? hm..

Take a look at the firefox extension called Scrapbook, it's
a beast!
You'll find it on the mozilla/firefox website. Just run a
search.
