I spent quite a bit of time looking at #wordpress plugins trying to find a static converter for the pile of PHP so I could freeze it and migrate it to a new host.
Turns out, all of them are crud.
But #httrack isn't crud and it worked out of the box and did what you want it to do. Migrated and did some nginx magic wit URL rewrites and people with old links will still be able to get to the nonsense I spewed into #wordpress in the future.
#Opensource still works.
