  • We you don't want to use a download manager – talex May 06 '15 at 11:27
  • When you say you want to save a website ? Is this any website ? or is this a site you have access to ? , Keep in mind if you say any site you will only be grabbing the HTML content rendered. Any inputs and buttons and other event triggers will not work and if the do they will then "redirect" you to the original site. This is very straight forward for static html sites. Java will easily accomplish what you want. – Kenneth Clark May 06 '15 at 11:44

What you are trying to create is actually a download manager. It is easier to create a simple download manager in java but quite tedious to create a full fledged one.

The idea behind it is simple. Say you have a webpage with url www.example.com/index.html. to download just index.html is easy. But to download all pages of a domain or website. You have to download index.html. Then parse index.html for links that are inside domain (ie within www.example.com).You need to download all the links, and then go through all pages downloaded from links and find more links. This goes on till you have parsed all links once. So essentially you would need to read a webpage,grab links and then download those links.You need to search info on web crawler,web page parsing etc.

If you are just trying to download a website please try softwares like flashget,internet download manager etc. There are some opensource once so you could get source as well.
