Archive or Mirror This Web Site
Save it to your computer for use when you are off-line
In order to simplify, we have removed the Quotes Web Site Archive CD-ROM from distribution, effective January 31, 2005.
Since the creation of that now discontinued product was due to requests, we felt that we should provide an alternative solution.
It is possible, and indeed rather simple, to download an entire web site (including this one) and store it on your computer's hard disk. We recommend this as a replacement for the Quotes Web Site Archive CD-ROM. The only problem with these methods is that they may be time consuming if you have a slow dial-up internet connection. Also, they provide a "snap shot" in time of the web site, and so will not reflect any changes and additions unless you update your archive.
Method One: HTTrack program
Use the (free!) program HTTrack: a website copier and free offline browser. See the HTTrack web page for download and usage instructions.
Method Two: Internet Explorer's Offline Synchronization feature
Follow these steps (using Internet Explorer)
- Go to Quotes.Watchtower.ca
- In the Menu bar, click "Favorites" then "Add to Favorites"
- Check the box "Make available offline"
- Click the button "Customize"
- In the resulting Offline Favorite Wizard, click "Next"
- Click "YES" in response to the question about making "other pages available too"
- Adjust the "Download pages" to at least ONE (1) links deep then click Next
- The next window asks you how you would like to synchronize, either manually or on an automatic schedule. Choose whichever method you prefer and click "Next". If you choose automatic schedule, clicking next will reveal a simple screen where you specify the frequency and time of day for the synchronization.
- You are now asked "Does this site require a password?" Select "No" and click "Finish".
- The initial synchronization now begins. This may take several minutes.
- If you selected manual synchronization, don't forget to periodically get the latest updates by clicking "Tools" ---> "Synchronize..."
You can now enjoy Quotes.Watchtower.ca even when not connected to the internet. Just make sure you have told Internet Explorer to "Work Offline" (File --> √ Work Offline).
