Computer Help- I want AD's problem

[Northern Wish]

Anyone know how to intentionally cache a version of a webpage- similar to what AD was seeing on the Ottawa Folk website?

There is a now defunct website that is a great resource for me and its about to go down. I'd like to have an archive of it if possible- other than just screenshots.

If you're using Firefox, get this addon:

Dead pages, broken links, the scourge of the internet. Powerhouse sites like Slashdot and Digg can bring a server to its knees. What do we do when a page is dead but we still want to see it? Call in the clerics, and perform a resurrection ceremony! Or, the easier route, use this extension.

Features

Searches through five big page cache/mirrors:

o CoralCDN

o Google Cache

o Yahoo! Cache

o The Internet Archive

o MSN Cache

o Gigablast

o WebCite

Of course, not every page can be in every cache. When a page is unavailable, you'll generally see that site's error page. Hit back and try another one!

* Accessible:

o In the context (right-click) menu for the current page, and for all links.

o In the toolbar, just customize it to drag the button in.

o With the keyboard: press Ctrl-Shift-U

if you have adobe, you can save it as a pdf.

If the site is still active there are free utilities that can download and save a whole website to your machine. I don't remember the name of the one I used to use but it was easy

to find. Try searching here: http://download.cnet.com/windows/?tag=hdr;snav
