How can I download a whole forum?

Thread subject says it all. I'm user in a private forum and would like to leech the informations to have offline access.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, but it doesn't work for private forums since HTTrack for example has no access to them.

I think you misunderstood me. I have access to the forum.
However the tool isn't trying to download the website over my browser client.
In fact it's trying to download the private forum over a new instance.

My question is still: How can I download the whole forum?

I couldn't find something yet which could help me in my concern.

This! I just want to download the pages inside there.

Doesn't it require login first before I can download it? It seems like it's also creating a new instance.

Does it work over my browser client instance? Remember a login is required to see the content.
Thanks everybody. I appreciate the help.
