Are there any tools that let me download an entire Tumblr blog? I'm not just looking for pictures and videos (I've seen tools for that) but also actual blog-posts (text)? Preferably there would be one tool to download everything (text, pictures, videos).
I don't know to what degree Tumblr uses other "external" (non-tumblr) services to host pictures and videos, but the program should be able to collect all content for a page/post, even if it spans to other hosts.
I'm looking to do this for any blog, not my own, so I have no special privileges. One in particular is about 10 pages.
I use mostly Linux, so a linux-tool or multi-platform (eg. java) would be preferable, though I can run Windows-programs too in a pinch.
Any suggestions would be welcome, even if it can't do everything at once. So suggestions for a good text-downloader, a good pix-downloader or a good vid-downloader are also very welcome.

Depending on what you want to do with it you have a couple of options.
If you're wanting to copy it over to WordPress, you can use Tumblr2WordPress to give you a standard WordPress XML file.
If you want the whole thing, posts & images, use this Tumblr Backup to give you a tarball including everything. A .TAR file is similar to a .ZIP file, and can be opened with 7-Zip if you're using Windows. It's python-based, and the developer even made the code available online if you want to tweak it yourself!
