httrack allow you to download websites (including images and scripts)
http://www.httrack.com/

Even if you block the "right-click" with javascript (preventing the "save 
image" options) you can make a "print-screen" and copy/paste the image.

  All web sites "download". They have to. What you are referring to is
  caching.  Turning on or off caching would have no effect on security.  
  Bad guys can always make websites that use the true gifs, etc from the
  real websites.  They can get those images,etc from the real site or from
  your local cache.  Or they can copy them to a fake site.  In fact, it is
  better for their performance to have you download them from the real site.
