Please suggest any add one that would download all pages/ images/ css/
js/ contents everything on and below a given url. Only that sites contents.

What is it called? Spider? Leecher?

fdm used to do that but it has grown so big that it is confusing how to
use it. I have migrated to orbit, though tried downloading a site with
fdm and that gets stuck at a gif files, throws error and doesn't
download further pages.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1616
SpiderZilla 1.6.0
The above is for upto ff2.0

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6940
spiderbar - edderkop
the above I think opens entire site in one go, but doesn't say whether
it saves it or not.

thanks.

I wonder when the number of spiders will exceed the number
of domains.

You dont need an addon for that.
A gnu commandline tool will do it for you,

WGET.EXE -r <any_url_you_can_think_of>

will download that url recursively, no problem.

I know,because by accident (some link on that page)
I almost downloaded a complete us geology database.
I found out before my harddisk was flooded. :)
