wget with a caveat. If the site relies on javascript to display menus 
there is a possibility that wget will not follow the links. You also 
need to set the link following depth of wget with the -r recursive 
option and -l n where n is the number of levels and make sure you tell 
wget to only follow links for the site and not other domains.

wget --help or man wget is your friend...
