As a frequent dialup user (and off-line user), if you haven't learned the joys of "wget" and the ability to mirror a site locally, it does a fairly smart job of cloning a site for local/offline use. It comes with a variety of knobs to twiddle regarding recursion depth, off-site links, parent directories, flow-limiting, resuming/retrying if the connection goes down (which, as a dialup user happens often, as you surely know) and other such conveniences. Additionally, you may want to investigate the wwwoffle package (http://www.gedanken.demon.co.uk/wwwoffle/) which acts as a local proxy that specifically attempts to make offline browsing a more gentle experience. "wget" is pretty standard in most Linux distros, and is often included in other *nix distros. It should also be available in Cygwin for Win32 folks. As for "wwwoffle", I don't know how available/functional it is for Win32. Fortunately, the Django overlords (and the resulting documentation pages) adhere strongly to RESTful web design which makes it very cache-friendly. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
