Review
This is a quick review
The Web Site Extractor program is conveniently designed to download Internet websites exactly the way you want them, including or excluding any parts you need or don't need (such as directory, domain and file names, types of files, their size or any other properties). The offline browser can download up to 100 files simultaneously, which saves you a huge amount of time compared to ordinary browsers. All data retrieved are stored in the directory you select and contain only the files and directories matching your filter instructions. A broad range of customized settings for downloading web pages will enable you to limit the scope of files retrieved to such types as jpg or html files. The Web Site Extractor automatically allows you to download any files that were not copied due to transfer errors or bad connections. The program is equipped to run through a proxy server and download only revised or new files, bypassing documents that have already been copied. The Extractor is essentially a search robot and is designed for fast-track navigation through the hyperlinks of cyber space, downloading web pages at the user's request. It offers numerous settings and options to facilitate this task. You can also limit your search by domain types (such as com, net, uk, etc.) by using sophisticated filtering options based on a list of key words and other auxiliary options.
Another big benefit of the program is it changes html-links to relative names. In other words, it turns web addresses (URLs) into addresses that work on your computer. This means you can easily move whole websites or information to CD-ROM, USB disk, or to another hard drive.
The following full-length review applies to version 9.7
Website Extractor is a powerful yet easy to use application that allows you to download entire Internet sites (or sections) to your hard drive and view them offline. This incredible program may be very useful if you surf the Internet using a dial-up connection, since it will save you a lot of money; you simply have to download the websites you want to view, disconnect, and then view them offline whenever you want. Moreover, the application features a very simple and intuitieve user interface which does not require any technical knowledge to be operated and makes this task a breeze. It also can be a great tool for researchers, journalists and students since they can easily archive reference material from the Internet, as well as for those who want to browse family websites containing digital photo albums. Another advantage of this program is that it it turns web addresses (URLs) into addresses that work on your computer, allowing you to easily move whole websites or information to CD-ROM, floppy disk, or to another hard drive. It also enables you to download websites exactly the way you want them, only including the parts that you really need, excluding the others. The program can also run through a proxy server and download only revised or new files, bypassing documents that have already been copied, thus saving your time and money. Note that this version is no longer available for download, but here you can get the latest one which includes improved features. |
