WebReaper
-
Version
9.4
WebReaper is web crawler or spider, which can work its
way through a website, downloading pages, pictures and
objects that it finds so that they can be viewed
locally, without needing to be connected to the
internet. The sites can be saved locally as a fully-
browsable website which can be viewed with any browser
(such as Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, etc), or
they can be saved into the Internet Explorer cache and
viewed using IE's offline mode as if the you'd surfed
the sites 'by hand'.
To use WebReaper, simply enter a starting URL, and hit
the Go button. The program will then download the page
at that URL, parsing the HTML as it goes, looking for
links to other pages and objects. It will then extract
this list of sub-links and download them. This process
continues recursively until either no more links
fulfil WebReaper's filter criteria or your hard disk
becomes full - which ever happens first!
The locally saved files will have their HTML links
adjusted so that they can be browsed as if they were
being read directly from the internet.
The download is fully configurable - custom
hierarchical filters can be constructed from 12
different filter types to allow targetted downloads.
Simple filters can be built using the Filter Wizard,
or more complex ones can be hand-crafted.
Shockwave Flash movies are fully supported, with their
internal links being followed and adjusted for local
browsing.
Getright is also supported (if installed). Files
larger than a user-configured threshold can be
automatically submitted to GetRight for resumable
segmented download.
