How can I make HTTrack only download files on the

Question

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.

Answer 1

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/*

Answer 2

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!!

Answer 3

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
