Oh Thank you very much for that but...

> But the site admins might hate that

Well this is a real concern for me too, the real reason I want to say
I don't think it would work is because there is a possiblity of getting
blacklisted when doing this, right? I would not want that. Have you
already tested running this and getting the entire /faq/ website? I
also do self host my own website and stuff and the reason why I do
not want to do this is because I would hate people doing that to my
site as well.

Your concern is very much appreciated in this day and age. As much
I want to run that command to solve this problem. As a site admin myself
(of my own server) I WILL hate people doing that to my site, after
seeing the log of one person crawling my website. and I would blacklist
them from accessing my website.

I think the same thing would happen to me, and I do not want to get
blacklisted at all. Best for the site admins to just publish a archive
of the /faq/ folder for us to download instead.
