No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get httrack to leave links going to other domains intact. I've tried using the --stay-on-same-domain
argument, and that doesn't seem to do it. I've also tried adding a filter doesn't do it.
There simply must be some option I'm missing here.
Setting the option "Maximum external depth" to 0
did not work , even though it should be expected.
What works:
Go to > Options > Scan Rules and enter in the text field (extra line): -* +*yourdomain.com/*

Set maximum external depth to 0. In the GUI that this can be found here:
If you are using the command line version, the option is
%e0
[Note: not an expert on HTTRACK, so please correct if necessary]
In "Set Option" > "Limits", try
Maximum mirroring depth = 1
(Keep this 2, when 1 doesn't work)
And
Maximum external depth = 0
Worked for me!!
