[Bf-webcontent] Re: About downloading Blender tutorials

[Bart Veldhuizen]

Hi Enrico,

Firefox (and would I think Mozilla too) has a feature to save a webpage 
for offline viewing. Simply select 'save page as' and then select 'web 
page, complete' as the format. It will save both the HTML and the 
images.

Please don't spider and download our website; it causes high load on 
our webserver and slows down the website for other users. We often 
block spidering users from our website for this reason.

Hope this helps,

Bart
