+
+Website Downloader CLI is a **tiny, pure-Python** site-mirroring tool that lets you grab a complete, browsable offline copy of any publicly reachable website:
+
+* Recursively crawls every same-origin link (including “pretty” `/about/` URLs)
+* Downloads **all** assets (images, CSS, JS, …)
+* Rewrites internal links so pages open flawlessly from your local disk
+* Streams files concurrently with automatic retry / back-off
+* Generates a clean, flat directory tree (`example_com/index.html`, `example_com/about/index.html`, …)
+* Handles extremely long filenames safely via hashing and graceful fallbacks
+
+> Perfect for web archiving, pentesting labs, long flights, or just poking around a site without an internet connection.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# 1. Grab the code
+git clone https://github.com/PKHarsimran/website-downloader.git
+cd website-downloader
+
+# 2. Install dependencies (only two runtime libs!)
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# 3. Mirror a site – no prompts needed
+python website-downloader.py \
+    --url https://harsim.ca \
+    --destination harsim_ca_backup \
+    --max-pages 100 \
+    --threads 8
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ Libraries Used
+
+| Library | Emoji | Purpose in this project |
+|---------|-------|-------------------------|
+| **requests** + **urllib3.Retry** | 🌐 | High-level HTTP client with automatic retry / back-off for flaky hosts |
+| **BeautifulSoup (bs4)** | 🍜 | Parses downloaded HTML and extracts every `<a>`, `<img>`, `<script>`, and `<link>` |
+| **argparse** | 🛠️ | Powers the modern CLI (`--url`, `--destination`, `--max-pages`, `--threads`, …) |
+| **logging** | 📝 | Dual console / file logging with colour + crawl-time stats |
+| **threading** & **queue** | ⚙️ | Lightweight thread-pool that streams images/CSS/JS concurrently |
+| **pathlib** & **os** | 📂 | Cross-platform file-system helpers (`Path` magic, directory creation, etc.) |
+| **time** | ⏱️ | Measures per-page latency and total crawl duration |
+| **urllib.parse** | 🔗 | Safely joins / analyses URLs and rewrites them to local relative paths |
+| **sys** | 🖥️ | Directs log output to `stdout` and handles graceful interrupts (`Ctrl-C`) |
+## 🗂️ Project Structure
+
+| Path | What it is | Key features |
+|------|------------|--------------|
+| `website_downloader.py` | **Single-entry CLI** that performs the entire crawl *and* link-rewriting pipeline. | • Persistent `requests.Session` with automatic retries<br>• Breadth-first crawl capped by `--max-pages` (default = 50)<br>• Thread-pool (configurable via `--threads`, default = 6) to fetch images/CSS/JS in parallel<br>• Robust link rewriting so every internal URL works offline (pretty-URL folders ➜ `index.html`, plain paths ➜ `.html`)<br>• Smart output folder naming (`example.com` → `example_com`)<br>• Colourised console + file logging with per-page latency and crawl summary |
+| `requirements.txt` | Minimal dependency pin-list. Only **`requests`** and **`beautifulsoup4`** are third-party; everything else is Python ≥ 3.10 std-lib. |
+| `web_scraper.log` | Auto-generated run log (rotates/overwrites on each invocation). Useful for troubleshooting or audit trails. |
+| `README.md` | The document you’re reading – quick-start, flags, and architecture notes. |
+| *(output folder)* | Created at runtime (`example_com/ …`) – mirrors the remote directory tree with `index.html` stubs and all static assets. |
+
+> **Removed:** The old `check_download.py` verifier is no longer required because the new downloader performs integrity checks (missing files, broken internal links) during the crawl and reports any issues directly in the log summary.
+
+## ✨ Recent Improvements
+
+✅ Type Conversion Fix
+Fixed a TypeError caused by int(..., 10) when non-string arguments were passed.
+
+✅ Safer Path Handling
+Added intelligent path shortening and hashing for long filenames to prevent
+OSError: [Errno 36] File name too long errors.
+
+✅ Improved CLI Experience
+Rebuilt argument parsing with argparse for cleaner syntax and validation.
+
+✅ Code Quality & Linting
+Applied Black + Flake8 formatting; the project now passes all CI lint checks.
+
+✅ Logging & Stability
+Improved error handling, logging, and fallback mechanisms for failed writes.
+
+✅ Skip Non-Fetchable Schemes  
+The crawler now safely skips `mailto:`, `tel:`, `javascript:`, and `data:` links instead of trying to download them.  
+This prevents `requests.exceptions.InvalidSchema: No connection adapters were found` errors and keeps those links intact in saved HTML.
