Can anyone tell me how long does it take to archive a decent sized website?

I had been trying to copy the official "Band of Brothers" website with BlackWidow but it was taking ages. Can anyone tell me how long did it take for them to copy a similarly sized website?

it depends
i once asked the same question when i was trying to download a section of digit site .
But the software webcopier use to give how many files are in pending or how many files are there .If it had already downloaded some 500 files then it use to go up to may be 10000 files and say that ...files are remaining so that can some times help.
But mostly i gave up idea of downloading site after 3 days of downlaod. :eek:
any way try your luck.

Meta Products Offline EXplorer is a very good program for this. It is fast and its enterprize edition lets you convert your downloaded website to a single chm file which has compressed size and is portable.

@cody: You can always specify the "depth" of the site to leech, or the number of links that the parser is allowed to follow and download. Usually, you want to keep the depth down to less than 6 links to dig through from any single page, so that it doesn't go off and literally try to download each and every single HTML file it can reference.
