Please check out wwwoffle.  It's an offline proxy server.

You go online, browse quickly (don't read the pages, just load
them) then go offline.  Now you can re-visit the sites in your
leisure.  If you click on a link that is not cached, wwwoffle
will store the info in its "Outgoing" page.  The next time you
get online it will download those pages and cache them.

Also, if you give it a URL it can download the whole site for
you.  Of course, it will not download a page/image more than
once.

Basically, it has all the features those M$ offline kiddy tools
have plus the cache can be shared by everyone in your LAN
(configurable of course!).
