I'm downloading it!
sharing the experiences, i'm using the itch.io client, that really is time saving for my standard operations
I put here the 'detailed' version of the commands i use for downloading a game from the page
1) When loading a page i use the network tab, under the developer tools, to check all the files that are loaded
Not always all the files needed by a game are fetched in one row, in those case i need to play the game as much as i can to be sure all the files are loaded
For Unity games, on itch for example, generally the only need 10 files or less, and they are all downloaded in one step
On edge and chrome I've found that it's possible to "Copy all for cURL (cmd)", that allow me to get all the addresses of all the files loaded
This is good for many files, if few i download them manually, creating the necessary forlders. The path is is visible on the network tab
2) With an excel file i can manage the addresses, creating the command lines for cURL, by formulas
3) copy and paste all the formulas in a .cmd file, that is some kind of .bat (never checked exactly the differences)
4) the cURL start downloading the files on the list, creating the needed folders
5) the index.html is downloaded via cURL. using the host emulator, that I've searched and found on itch itself (really i doesn't remembered that)
https://uusoft.itch.io/unity-webgl-local-hoster
i can load the index.html file and, let's say 99/100, the game start
All by hand, but i find myself confident that this method may be used on any system (except for the emulator)
cURL is like wGET on linux, but for what I've understood, less powerful: it may be defined like a manual download manager
Again, i'm not a tech, and i'm sure that cURL may be used with best result, for instance by downloading all the files from a path (i use cURL because, once, a tech friend showed me how to use it when i needed to get files from a wayback machine page)
Another program i use, not often, is HTTrack Website Copier, it's like the old teleport pro (for those who know it), but generally i don't get much luck downloading sites
