Site download, looking for programs to do such

A long, long time ago, when CodeGuru was quite small compared to now,
there was the possibility to download a .ZIP file containing the whole
web site's content. This option vanished a long time ago; Zafir commented
this due to the vast amount of work this produces and recommended several
programs to do complete site downloads, including IE4's site abonnement
mechanism. I haven't yet found a stable solution; maybe someone can recommend
a way to do this?
I plan to place the dl'd files on a small intranet web server for easier local
access (internet access rates still being horrendous in germany).

Thanks for any useful hints
