All of the references in the book are "relative links" -- whereas the
references to things like my homepage (which is how you're downloading
all of UCB CS staff) is absolute links. Download programs usually have
a way to specify to only go for relative links, and that should solve
this problem ... for example, I just download the book on my own
harddrive using the UNIX utility wget, using this line:

wget -L -r http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/sa/book

and it worked w/o downloaded any extraneous pages (did have to rename
a top-level directory or two to make netscape happy, but I think that's
a wget-specific quirk) ...

You can pick up wget at:
