The Grabber implements a Controller that downloads a whole site from
the internet, containing all images and other links, if wanted. In a HTML-file,
links can reach to files in the same directory, other directories on the
same host, or even other hosts. To create an exact local copy of the remote
site, the user can specify a local destination-directory. In that directory,
subdirectories are created according to the hosts and directories of the
links in the downloaded HTML-page. After downloading, the HTML-files need
to be rewritten, so that former links "into" the net, no point to the locally
stored files.
In some cases pages contain links to very large files - like big pictures
or even whole books. The user can specify a maximum content length, so
that large files are not donwloaded.
If you want a 1:1-copy of the remote site select "Load all links",
so that all the images, sounds and even FTP-links are downloaded.
Local Destination ..... Specify the local drive+directory where you want the "grabbed" data to be stored. All directories that you specify here will be created. (Hint: Use / instead of \)
Max. Content Length ..... If a remote file is bigger than the number you specify here, it will not be downloaded (size in bytes).
Load all links ..... Select this checkbox if you want to download all "downloadable" files to your local drive. If this box is not selected, only HTML-files will be loaded.
