## What it is
HTTrack is a free offline browser utility that recursively downloads websites to a local directory, rewriting links so the mirrored copy can be browsed as if online. It ships as a command-line tool plus GUIs (WinHTTrack, WebHTTrack, Android app) and supports resuming and updating existing mirrors.

## Use cases
- download an entire website for offline browsing
- mirror a website to a local directory
- archive a site before it goes offline
- resume an interrupted website download
- update an existing site mirror without re-downloading unchanged files
- scrape a site's html, images, and assets recursively

## When to choose
- you need a battle-tested, configurable site-mirroring tool with cross-platform GUIs
- you want to browse a copied site link-by-link with preserved relative link structure
- you need resumable, updatable mirrors and proxy/HTTPS support

## When to avoid
- you need JavaScript-rendered single-page apps captured accurately
- you want a modern headless-browser scraping pipeline with custom scripting
- you need API-level data extraction rather than static file mirroring
