Amazing but the only good wallet generator is one that runs offline.

Technically, it does run offline. If you pop open your developer console, you'll notice it isn't making any requests. All of the wallet generation is done on client side, no public address or private key ever touches our server. After the page loads, it'll still work with no internet connection.

Just an idea: provide a zip file version for the paranoid, put it on github

I think both IE and Firefox has an "all in one" archive format for a webpage that includes all the external files and can run directly from the single file.

That would be a neat alternative.

But I think they built a website for the traffic, not to give away their work.

This can run offline if you download all the files, as all the computation is done client-side.

However due to the use of require.js (http://requirejs.org) the script files aren't directly linked from the main page. You need to grab the following files, put them in their respective directories locally, and then edit the main page so all the src and href attributes are relative rather than absolute to root (e.g. src="js/lib/require.min.js"):

And there you have it, a nifty offline wallet generator without the risks of running code that could change unexpectedly (especially as there is no https version so greater risk of MITM).
