Web browsers do this all the time. It's default behavior - caching. Websites can employ techniques to discourage caching, some being more effective than others. But my point is, "downloading and saving locally" is the norm. And most web browsers have the capability to "save for offline reading" in addition to basic caching. In a legal sense, I'm guessing that by merely existing on the internet, websites are giving you implied permission to "copy locally". I have not heard of any web browser designer being sued for caching content. This doesn't mean that you can take your local copies, repackage them, and sell them. That's quite a different matter.
