Can you please show us some respect?

Are you assuming there is just one off-line browser 
out there? There are at least hundreds, with the
same capability as HTTrack.

But you do show your anger, sir, which is not a 
wise thing to do in these matters. Letters like yours 
only invite similar attacks; many more.

> Are you sir going to pay for that?  
Who are you addressing? This is a public forum.

I would suppose you mean, "abusing user". It could
also be a girl, or a poor Myanmar grandma, for that 
matter. If you can catch em, then sue em.

Perhaps, your Taiwanese law differs from our 
European law. Your lawyers wouldn't stand a chance,
on pure logic and technology alone. Do you also
go after Microsoft for supplying the user's Operating 
System? Myanmar Internet Provider Inc. for supplying
access to the internet? Sun Microsystems for inventing
Java threads?
> We ARE the content providers.  
So, do what good content providers do. Put a good
robot-exclusion protocol in place.

> A non-threaded offline browser, like wget...
Even one thread can no longer be called non-threaded.

And your Burmese user may take ten years to trek to 
Taipei for your wisdom, but this is not likely. The
days of Marco Polo are gone.

Yes, please.

things which you say you miss.

What, no threads? What should they run on then? Steam?

Then go get yourself a Muhammad Ali, heavyweight
server that packs a punch.

No, sir. Users come to the internet and download HTTrack
for free. So, it's like a teenager going to a fairground,
getting a free air pistol and converting it to fire
Magnum bullets. Do you then sue the makers of the pistol?The Magnum Firearms
Company?
