I'm sure Mark Langford would have mentioned this if it was still a good product/idea, but he turned me on to a software called "Web Copier" or somesuch, for the very duty that some of you are facing... transferring your webpages to a different host. This software would copy your entire site and save it to your local disk and would also test the links as it went, pointing out broken links and invalid URLs. You could set the limits on how far out to let it test (just your site, or out a ways).
It used to be available as a free download demo but even the registration fee was very reasonable... much less than the cost of your time in doing a manual copy and save. I used it to backup my own website and to check for broken links and it worked great. And on the language thing, as Cris. from Rome can attest, I cannot speak nor write Italian worth a hoot, although I bought two different "learn while you drive" courses and went through them many times before visiting Italy last fall. I cannot speak or write Spanish and French equally well/poorly ;o) That makes me illiterate in four languages... five, if you count Morse code, which I actually still remember from my days as a radio amateur, and six if you count dead programming languages like Fortran, which I learned in college when dinosaurs roamed the earth and all computing was done via punch cards fed into a card reader.
