Web Dumper works the same way all common web browsers do, downloading documents from the World Wide Web using the HTTP protocol. Rather than displaying those documents with their embedded pictures, songs or movies, it saves them to your hard disk for later offline browsing. Web Dumper goes through all links and get any document linked to the given starting page recreating on your hard drive a copy a the original site's folder hierarchy.
Using Web Dumper is straightforward. Just enter the URL you want Web Dumper to start download from and hit the Dump button. It is really that simple and the default settings are the ones you'll use most often. If not just step through the preferences to change them and tell Web Dumper exactly which pages to fetch.
Web Dumper is versatile. It gives you a wide range of options for selecting what to download by file type, location and size. It also offers full support for incremental downloads so you can fetch contents by directory or file name. For example:
http://www.maxprog.com/test[1-2]/picture[001-002].jpg
or http://www.maxprog.com/picture[12-15].jpg
Web Dumper is very fast. Its multi-threaded downloading engine fetches pages fast. You can choose how many threads to use and whether to download text only or the full page including graphics.
Web Dumper is thorough. Some sites can be difficult to grab if they come from CGI scripts or contain JavaScript. Web Dumper can't promise to download 100% of websites but it in most cases it does a very good job of downloading them.
Web Dumper comes with ready-to-use default factory settings which allows you to start downloading your favorite web site right now. However, you can change settings to meet your needs at any time. Web Dumper lets you select which kinds of file you want to be dumped between more than 60 available standard types, the folder depth level, how links must be processed and if it must re-link your HTML documents for offline browsing.
Once download is started you can follow all processes from the same window including through a detailed file list accessible pushing the disclosure triangle on the bottom left edge.
