copy live magento store local computer:

  1. download magento files using ftp client.
  2. export database live server.
  3. put downloaded magento files in localhost root folder.
  4. create blank database(lets 'local-database') in local computer , import database backup exported live one.
  5. delete/rename file app/etc/local.xml
  6. re-install magento using local-database.
  7. after installation, go admin section , then

(i)flush cache. (ii)re-index data. (iii)flush cache.

that's it. done.
