I'd say they are good for bloggers, because you can save reference material, ensuring it is available when and where you need it. I’ve been using SuperBot (a superior alternative product) for years.

On my personal blog on my domain I watched as someone used such a program to steal my blog contents and later I saw the contents published on a splog as though they belonged to someone else. I took the route of making a DMCA complaint and the web hosting company powering the splog in question and they shut it down. However, this does not prevent them from doing it again and I lack the time and energy to spend on tracing these content thieves. I’m aware that these tools exist.

Add any blog's feed to your google reader and use google gears for offline browsing. how is that? I’d do it this way.

I find WinHTTrack a better option for Windows, which has a lot more configuration and is UI-based — it's also completely dedicated to getting a reliable copy of websites with plenty of options for the outputted files, while I believe mirroring sites is more a side-purpose of WGET.

Furthermore they do not download the code for a site, just the rendered HTML, so even if they did upload it, the finished product would be a shallow copy of the original.
