It will also re-create a directory structure and auto-create index.html pages to work seamlessly with Apache and Nginx. All files downloaded are the original ones and not Wayback Machine rewritten versions. This way, URLs and links structure are the same as before.
Just to let you know that there's also a Python version of this that's
called "wayback" and seems slightly better maintained, although I've
heard this one (wayback-machine-downloader) might be "better", it's
clear the repo mentioned about has been inactive for years and one must
find The Right Fork going forward.
For now I'll be taking a look at the python version, wayback.
