I tried using httrack to download my phpbb forum, but no matter what setup I use, I cannot get it to stop downloading the entire wikipedia site as well, and many other websites whose links are anywhere in the forum...
What I managed to do it make it download the index page only, but that's not good either.
I thought that setting
+forum.mysite.com/*
in the Options->Scan Rules would do the trick, but it went on to download the entire wikipedia again :(
Found a questionable solution here: Subject: Re: prevent download of external content.
The problem is that now external links point to a page that looks pretty ugly, which is fixable.
However, embedded content, like youtube, is now also replaced by this ugly page :(
At least it is not downloading the entire internet anymore...
