Obviously you can only do so much with dynamic features, but for static
snapshots I like w3mir. w3mir is a perl script, typically run on a unix
system, but if it doesn't currently run on windows it would be easy to
adapt. It handles collecting material via URL, modifying URLs in the
pages so everything keeps working, and optionally re-mapping parts of the
site or other sites into different directories. Eg when copying
www.example.com/ , take linked images from http://pictures.example.com/
and put them in a /pictures/ directory.

Yes, the archives are at:
http://www.info-arch.org/lists/sigia-l/
As mentioned elsewhere, the search stuff isn't yet implemented.
