How to download a site
If the project for the site is already created, just click the icon of the
project to select it and press the Run button to start downloading.
If you want to download a new site, the easiest way is to use the wizard. Press
the "Wizard" button and follow the instructions of the wizard.
Another way is to press the "New Project" button, specify the name and the
Start page for the Project, and also the settings that you need. Press the "OK"
button to save the project and after that press the Run button to start downloading.
View the downloaded site
Double-clicking the project will open the downloaded site in the internal browser.
Download only images from the site
Use the wizard. When selecting "File types to download", specify that only
images should be downloaded.
Print the current page
Use the menu command File->Print.
Downloading a site requiring authorization
Different ways are used to download such a site depending on the authorization
type.
If the authorization is performed using a web form (e.g. www.yahoo.com):
- To be able to download such a site, you should have the option "Options->Connections->Use
Internet Explorer cookies" on.
- Open the site in the internal browser and log in.
- After that the site is downloaded as usually.
If the site requires the HTTP or FTP authorization:
- Specify the login and the password in Project Properties->Site Secures
- After that the site is downloaded as usually.
Download only text files, for example articles
Press the "Wizard" button, when selecting "File types to download", uncheck
all checkboxes.
Update the site
Right-click the project and select the "Properties" item from the popup menu.
The "Project Properties" window will open, in the "General" section set "Update
files" to "When files changed". If you have to re-download the entire site without
skipping the downloaded files, set "Update files" to "Always".
Download files from an FTP server
Downloading files from an FTP server is practically the same as from usual
sites. Use the wizard and specify either the FTP server address (if you want
to download files and directories) or the addres of a particualr file in the
"Start page" field. If the FTP server requires authorization before downloading,
specify the login and the password in "Project Properties->Site Secures".
Download files according to the specified masks
You should specify a filter in the created project. "Project Properties->URL
Filters". You can find the description with examples on how to create filters
here
Download files only with the specified extensions
Specify the file extensions you want to download for the created project in
the section "Project Properties->File Types". You can find more details about
working with file types here
How to limit the usage of the network capacity
To regulate the usage of the network capacity and the capacity of the sites
being downloaded, you can specify the number of simultaneous connections to
the site or to the FTP server from which the data are being downloaded. "Options->Connections->Number
of simultaneous connections".
