Introduction Did you ever land on a website with many pages or lots of content that you were looking for but didn't have enough time to look through the site at the time?

I have been using HTTrack for about two years. If you want to download a mirror image of a website, it works well. If you want to pick and choose what to download beyond that, such as only one page of links within that site, it creates a mess. Usually I start with only one page of a given website, and try to download everything on that one page, having no use for the other pages.
I input the specific URL but HTTrack insists on downloading the entire root as well. Moreover, if I want to exclude certain file types, I must input them one by one, but if I want to include those file types, I can choose them all with just a few clicks. Consequently, if I want to download only the text files, or html, or PDFs from a site, it is a longer process, as I have to manually exclude every other file type known to man. There is also some confusion about how deeply to go for downloading links on the page in question: Does it download only linked files or does it download the files referenced on those linked files as well?
You can choose how deep to go, but you won't know whether you selected the right option until the downloads are finished, half an hour later. Today I have finally given up, as I think it would be faster to download manually the 100 text files on the web page in question, then to entrust HTTrack to do it automatically. In all fairness I must say that I may have simply overlooked all the features that I needed or else missed them in the manual. All in all, the programmer has been very generous to donate his work to the world, even though it may not be useful to me in particular, so for that he must be commended. • or to post comments. The web browser plugin is actually the security problem in question which execute Java applets from websites. Web browsers (like Chrome, Firefox) by default disabled java plugin from your browser when it started facing zero day vulnerabilities which went way over the limit.
The plug-in was designed to run Java programs in a security sandbox (like Flash Player), but when the sandbox itself had leaks/holes and was later exploited by hackers, there started the real problem. Just like Adobe Flash Player and PDF Reader, it's recommended to update Java to the latest version. Although to make Java more secure.
A normal user doesn't need to have it installed on the system, particularly web browser • or to post comments. Hi, I used to use WinHTTrack, and beyond basic usage, it's options lend themselves to expert use.
For a long time and again now I also found its GUI wasn't updating as it did originally whilst downloading. Suddenly I thought of FDM (Free download manager). As well as handling normal downloads and torrents, it also features site ripping (HTML spider). That it does this is not obvious.
Look at the Downloads tab- to the right is a double angle arrow. Click on this and you see more tabs, including HTML Spider.
Much simpler than WinHTTrack. Finding the options is tricky. Rt click on the URL of the page you are to download when added to FDM and look for 'Web page downloading settings' • or to post comments.
