Jon, I've had very good results downloading very large Web sites using a
free program called, SiteSnagger. I download the sites to my hard drive
and then transfer them to a CD. I've also used it to download our
program's Web pages for viewing at locations where there's no Internet
connection. I've used the program about 50 times without incident. The
program has a number of preference settings re the Web site to be snagged. 
I think it's worth your time to try it. 

If you decide to try it, once a program has been snagged, look for an
html file called index: it will be a main page for the site you've
snagged.

It's available at the following locations:

This location includes some documentation on the software.

Good luck.
