Yes. But doing so without Todd's knowledge, _while keeping it up tom
date_, is next to impossible.
I suspect somebody who downloaded the entire site would show up a
significant blip in traffic, also.
Then there is the fact that by far not everything in lugnet is public
- the CGI and other various bits-o-script holding the thing together
aren't publically available.

A constantly updated copy of the original would be essentially a
mirror - and assuming that you copy the ability to post as well, and
gateway both ways, it might actually make sense to do something like
that, someday. With Todd's consent, of course.
