| Hi Xavier,
A few months ago, to avoid having to always go online
to view read the site, <http://www.bplans.com/ot/> , I
downloaded it with your Httrack software and it
worked, except that many pages were missing from the
site and the software seemed to be unable to get those
missing pages no matter what options I chose to
continue the download.
The good news is that yesterday I download your latest
version and downloaded the same site again and this
time I got ALL the pages on the first try, but it took
over 3 hours with my 56k modem, I suppose that's
mainly because the site had more than 3000 files.
Anyway, the only problem is that the downloaded site's
main /ot directory and it's sub-directories took up
about 69MB of space on my hard drive as compared to
18.1MB when I download the same site with another
offline downloader called Offline Explorer Pro. Do you
have any idea what may be the cause of that and is
there any special combination of options I can select
with your software to decrease the total downloaded
size of a large site? If so then please let me know.
I spite of the larger downloaded size I do prefer your
Httrack over Offline Explorer Pro since among other
things with Offline Explorer Pro you must use that
software's internal web server to view the files plus
it never seems to be able to download all the pages.
Also is their anyway to automatically save a permanent
copy of the logs after the program closes?
Here is all the settings I used to download the site:
Name: On Target
Web address:
<http://www.bplans.com/ot/>
Scan rules:
+*.png +*.gif +*.jpg +*.css +*.js -ad.doubleclick.net/*
+*/common/*
+*/c/gifs/*
+*/ot/*
+*/gifs/*
+*/c/sp/*
+*/fileshare/*
Retries: 6
Max. Connections: 8
All other settings were left as their default
Thanks for a great program and I'm looking forward to
hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Peter | |
