The program will rip all the pages from the site and store them in a directory on your hard drive. Download times will vary, depending on your connection, anywhere between two minutes to an hour.

After that, you can browse the ZDoom Wiki off-line just like you would online.

If you have wget installed, you can also use the following command to download the wiki:

wget -rk http://www.zdoom.org/wiki/Main_Page
