From time to time a client asks me to download their web site to work on
off line (you might be surprised how many have no backup) and I tend to
do it using wget -r in Linux. Does anyone know of a way of grabbing a
smallish site in OSX 10.5 or 6 in its original form? wget doesn't seem
to be recognised in the Terminal.

Plenty of packages for it though - can get one from here:

OS X ships with curl instead of wget. Been that way since about Jaguar,
IIRC. Grab the curlmirror wrapper script if you want to mirror web
sites using curl: <http://curl.haxx.se/programs/curlmirror.txt>

Thanks, Ian and Chris. These sugestions are going to do the job.
