- In the Action select Download website(s).In the Web Addresses add the URL address of the website and click Next.
- At last Select Finish and HTTrack will start grabbing your content .
- After completion of the download go to the folder which you selected to save the website.Here you can see a folder with name similar to your name you chosen while downloading.Open it and look for the file index.html.Double click it to open it .Now you can browse the complete website offline in your browser.
