It ain't perfect, but usually will get the job done (provided there ain't a rate-limiter monitor on the site that boots me off and bans my access - if I suspect such a thing, I'll put in a randomized grab and rate-limit to better simulate a human which will usually get around that - but takes forever to pull down a large site).

Yeah… I got banned from one site after I copied the url. JDownloader took it and before it could finish grabbing the directory of one page I lost access. I didn’t get one file. I had to go through the wayback machine as a workaround
