| I simpliy understand nothing. I have been trying this
software together with WebRaper, but no hope for me. While
reading the help everything sounds nice, but when I need to
apply the knowledge, ..........>:( OK, I addmit there is
one more help file remining for me to read it (by Fred
Cohen), but after all already red help files I cannot get
further from the very beginning so far and I feel I should.
As I have understood this program is more for folks who are
rather knowledgeable about internet and the whole structure
of it. What about poor simple users who just need to get
several pages. Everything written in manual is more
oriented towards principle: OK, you have seen a good site,
or a directory, so you want to grab it all, but just put
some filters first, e.g. do not download files bigger than
xxxMB. But what if I go to, let's say, YahooTravel, and
want to read some help about it, since I like that service.
So, I click to help link, and YahooTravel help page opens:
<http://help.yahoo.com/help/trav>
And when I look at it I do not like what I see. There are
several links (categories) with many more sublinks, but
most of them are deep two or three rarely four clicks. So,
how can I just download all those "clicks" with all
pictures, sounds, zips, whatever (they do not disturb me).
I have tried almost everything. Actually I have already
spent more time online testing this program, than surfing
the site and clicking those links one by one. But mostly
what I get when I start to download is a COMPLETE Yahoo
help folder. All Yahoo helps!!!!
OK, I turn to the WebReaper, but there things are even
worse. Things there are more visualised, so easier to
controll, but results are catastrophic. I simply cannot
download anything. What I get is Privacy Policy page, and
blank pages. Actually, I get almost every link working
exept those sublinks concerning YahooTravel. With both
programs. This is also a remark to WinHTTrack, more
visualisation, so I can see what is going on and the
structure of the site. In WebRaper I can see the tree and
cancel the links I do not like on-the-fly.
I have been trying and trying with many options, but I must
say they a bit confusing here. I cannot distinguish program
settings from download rules (filters). They are somehow
mixed. I am not even sure whether should I put star after
the address in filter, or directly in entered address. It
would be much better when I could set the overall settings,
and then just handle the filters and maybe some more
options. To summarize, I can feel the power of this program
(after have red the manuals), but I cannot use it as an
average user. They are too far from me. Could it be somehow
simplified, through buttons, windows,....?Uh, I went completely off the
subject and my first
question, how to handle all the YahooTravel helps only? And
more general, how just to download several clicks from the
page like and start from? Please help!!
Since it seems that it is moslty up to me and my poor
knowledge about how internet is structured, can anybody
give any link to pages concernig this subject (how internet
is structured). I would like to read something about it at,
let's say, medium level.
Thanks in advance. | |
