Make your contents available in a convenient form, so users have
no need of things like wget.  Remember there are a lot of people
on expensive dialup lines, and they don't want to spend a time
"live" looking for what they need on your site when they can browse 
it more easily and cheaply, as well as faster, offline.

That's confused.  WTF is .htaccess if not an Apache way to do this?
Anything you can do with .htaccess can also be done in httpd.conf.

Well, you could use a rewritecond based on user-agent.  But that would
be BAD.
