| Sorry if anyone finds a similar message posted coz I
accidentally pressed a wrong button....and I do
sincerely apologise in advance if the following
message offends any one of you.
This httrack programe really causes me headache, My
favourite offine programe was called "Teleport" and is
(should be?) still my favourite. I tried almost all of
the OL browsers that could be downloaded from the web.
But somehow they didn't do what I wanted them to do.
And I was recommended the Teleport. Why I have been
using Teleport for years though it is not free. It is
powerful. It is fast and stable; it shows the full URL
of each files downloaded; and it is very easy to
manage the "project" it downloads -- one folder for
all files and one .tpp file, that's it. Now it can
even properly capture javascript.(By 'properly', I
mean I can get those files somehow linked to the
javascript. I am simply not programming-proficient and
I don't understand why it is so hard for me to
understand such an important subject in life) And it
is so easy to use -- even people as dum as me can
easily start using it with notable result. As a result
of this, if I try to stack up the cdroms I burnt, it
is almost with its total height/length? as my....
middle finger.
Now, I must have done something wrong and I don't even
know how I got to have the httrack file on my disk. I
installed it.. Well, I was pretty sure that its fate
would have been the same as those programes I tried
and forgot in the rest of my days.
No, I was wrong. The first thing it impresses me is
its speed. "What the heck is it going on? 10k? 11k?
12???" "Was it cheating me?"
When this first project was finished, I clicked on
the "Browse the website" (forgive me if I get the
label wrong). I was impressed with the little index
file created by it. I immediately realised this must
be a breakthough in my offline browsing experience.
And it is! If you have a few dozens of projects and if
you are a bit too ambigous in organizing them in
folders according to their topics, you will understand
my feeling. "Where is it?" "maybe I link the starting
page of each of them on one page..?" Now I don't have
to think about these questions.
Should I reconsider which programe should be my
favourite? I want to keep the consistency of my
archives.........
If I am not then banned from posting any message to
this group, I will try to make my "wish list" for the
future version of the httrack. May I?
Oh.....One thing...the cache is too big.
Thanks for your patience. | |
