wget can make a nice browsable pseudo-mirror* of zope
if you get the right combination of flags. The best I've come up with is:

wget -r -l8 -p -nH --no-parent --convert-links --html-extension

you may of course need to adjust the -l setting.

* I say pseudo-mirror because it's quite possible that some
urls will (harmlessly) change, and there may be some duplication - actually
there can be quite a lot of duplication if you make sloppy use
of relative URLs.  In fact they can lead to infinitely growing
URLs which are of course impossible to mirror with any tool. :)
