> ... if someone here knows how to save the entire website as is...

While the other suggestions are useful in their own ways (archive.org, save-page-as, etc.), they are limited. The best way to make sure YOU have your own copy of the entire site is:

wget -r {URL}

"wget" is a program free on MacOS-X, Linux, and Unix computers, and available for free for Windows. Its purpose is specifically to make a copy of a website. Of course there are many other reasons for running it, and it can do hundreds of cool things.

If you want an easy way to make a copy of an entire site, "wget" is the program you want.

Google on "wget" and your choice of OS. There are lots of ways to obtain it by download.

*eyes crossing* I'm sure if I really studied it, I could figure it out. I was just pointing out an easy way to see where a web site is already archived. :)

I sent your wget to my much more computer savy brother. :)
