The best way to download a website for offline use, using wget

There are two ways - the first way is just one command run plainly in front of you; the second one runs in the background and in a different instance so you can get out of your ssh session and it will continue.

First make a folder to download the websites to and begin your downloading: (note if downloading www.SOME_WEBSITE.com, you will get a folder like this: /websitedl/www.SOME_WEBSITE.com/)

STEP 1:

nishantmendiratta

`#!/usr/bin/env python`

```
print "Hello World"
```

The Problem

Standard practices say no non-root process gets to talk to the Internet on a port less than 1024. How, then, could I get Node talking on port 80 on EC2? (I wanted it to go as fast as possible and use the smallest possible share of my teeny tiny little micro-instance's resources, so proxying through nginx or Apache seemed suboptimal.)

The temptingly easy but ultimately wrong solution:

Alter the port the script talks to from 8000 to 80:

}).listen(80);
