Yeah its got an easy to understand UI and when you hover over things it gives a description of what the option does.
Basically you start it up, hit next, name your project like "Yo Joe" hit next.
Select Download websites in Action drop down (its the default), change it to Continue Interrupted Download if it got interupted, or change it to Update existing if you want to get pages added with a site update.
Copy and paste the Website URLs you want.
Choose Set Options. Uncheck use Proxy for FTP if you don't use one.
Choose Scan Rules, Check the box for gif, jpg, png, tif so it gets images. Feel free to check the other file boxes if you want. Click Exclude Links and add anything you want to exclude. Like to avoid getting facebook links choose Links Containing in Criterion and post facebooks url in the string box. Do this for anything links you know you don't want. Its ok if you leave it blank it will just take longer to download everything. The program includes some ad servers already blocked by default.
Under Limits remove or set any you want, you can limit the programs speed if you have really bad internet and still want to surf the web. The main thing I usually do is set Max External depth to 1 so the bot doesn't stray far from the site and will usually still grab images hosted off the web sites server. Feel free to set or remove any limits you want.
Under Links section you may want to check the Get Non-HTML files related to a link, eg external ZIP or Pictures depending on the website. If You are archiving a primarily Text based site like say all the GI Joe category on Fanfiction.net. I would suggest opening the Links tab and selecting GET HTML files First! So it will focus on downloading the stories before images.
Rest of the stuff is usually best left on default.
One more thing. When you exclude stuff most times it will still create a folder with a 0byte file with the excluded stuffs name. Like if you block an ad it will create a 0 byte file with that ads name. This is so the local archived Websites can display the site as it looks online but instead of showing an ad that was excluded the local website will load the 0byte file as a blank space on the page.
Theres a lot of neat options you can really get into and customize the heck out of whats downloaded, how its displayed, archived etc. Its a really robust program for archiving.
Edit: Oh the Website will be saved in whatever folder you choose,C:\My Websites by default. Open that folder and click Index.html to load a webpage listing all the sitrs you archived. Click the project name you named the site on the index and you will be accessing the site offline using all the files it archived, browse the site and click links, images, etc like you would on an online site. If you hit something you didn't archive it will show a 404 error or something similar, just hit back to go back to the previous page.
