| Hi,
Firstly, let me commend you guys for providing such a
brilliant software. It's simply awesome. :)
I wish to "Update an existing download". But I do not want
the software to redownload any pages (either updated or
not). Basically, I just seek to change the structure of the
existing download. Initially I had saved it using the
option "Site-structure (default)", but now I want to change
the structure to "Html in web/html images/other in
web/images".
It it possible that the software changes the structure
offline only, directly from the cache. This is very
important since I have already downloaded GB's of data, and
it is now that I realise that I need to change the
structure.
Since the pages are dynamic (I have downloaded entire
dmoz.org), it is trying to redownload each and every page.
Please help me. I cannot afford to redownload the entire
thing.
Also, I tried searching on the forum. I noticed a peculiar
message at the URL

Darn.. that might be right.. but this is really not
advised, because this won't refresh the website
If you want to "continue" an interrupted (crash,
connection brokeb..) website, use the "continue"
option.
If you want to update a website, you will have to use
the real "update" option, even if it's a big slower :))
By the way, if the "update" process is slow, it might
be due to .php/.asp pages - this problem will be
partially solves with the new "--assume" option
------------------------------
Basically this is what I seek. But I am unsure as to what I
have to change in the new.ndx file. The site which I have
downloaded has each & every page named as index.html and
lying in different folders. So do I need to delete the
entire new.ndx file?
Thanks for being patient. You guys are simply marvellous
