I'd like to download a fairly extensive collection of web pages so I have them as a portable reference.

The obvious way is for me to do a recursive wget and then copy them over, but any other more conventional way of doing this? (I'm new to the PDA world).

I am not concerned with updating these, the pages will stay static.

Thanks,
Mike

Add them to your mobile favourites (if you are using Internet Explorer), set the depth you want to download to. You can set up a scheduled sync or a manual sync from within IE. When you then sync via ActiveSync the downloaded pages will be transferred to you PPC.

I do this all the time and it works well with low bandwidth pages.

iSilo or Plucker are the way to go. iSilo has a desktop/pc convertor and a PocketPC reader. For Plucker, there are various desktop convertors (Plucker Desktop, Jpluck/Sunrise, etc) and the PocketPC Reader is called Vade Mecum.

When I was a Palm user, I used JPluck/Plucker. It was free and very good. Now on PocketPC I use iSilo as 6 months ago Vade Mecum didn't seem to have any active development, but I think it has been updated not too long ago.

My preference is to use an alternative browser to PIE called Netfront which has a great offline browser function called "Auto-Cruise"

This option allows for scheduled or immediate downloads of web pages for permanent (or updated) storage and later viewing directly on your Axim without the need of a host PC.

This app has many many other great features worth looking at.
