WebTransporter - is a program to downloading, saving, and viewing of
Web sites offline
Some authors` advices
Depth of scanning
The most widespread mistake of users who use WebTransporter for the first time is the start of the project with a big depth of scanning. In this case you risk downloading a lot of completely unnecessary information which costs you a great deal of time and money. Therefore, we advise you before starting the project to go to the site by a usual browser and attentively estimate the given information; and at the same time try on what initial URL is better to set to the program.
Disguise as browser
Many users don't understand the essence of this opportunity. Let's explain it popularly. The point is that some sites on the Internet value their information very much and they don't hasten at all to impart to it with offline-browsers. It is explained as that the offline-browsers are the independent programs developed mainly for work without intervention of the man that is not interesting for those sites; which live at the expense of advertising. Such sites check on the program which addresses to its pages, and if it's an offline-browser it simply won't permit downloading. For a detour of such protection,
WebTransporter has an opportunity of disguise as a browser as well as the opportunity of morphing disguise as a browser - when each query is carried out as though, on behalf of other browsers, it will raise productivity in some cases.
Downloading of complex sites with redirects
The sites on the Internet constantly become complicated; the web-designers think out new ways of content navigation and management all the time. For as sites that perfectly worked on the server, cannot always adequately work on your hard disk. We constantly are improving the engine of the program which allows reacting adequately to new trends in web-design. However, you should understand that in some cases the program cannot cope with a site. For example, there can be a problem with Internet-shops, as the databases of the goods usually lay on the server in the protected zone and the access to them, as a rule, is closed by the passwords.
When creating a new project, it is also necessary to pay attention to pages with redirect. A good example is the site
http://www.mercedes-benz.com; that is if you specify the link
http://www.mercedes-benz.com
as the initial URL. The program, having downloaded nothing, will stop and inform you that the link isn't downloaded and that further work is impossible. It occurs because the address to the link
http://www.mercedes-benz.com
causes a redirection of query on the page http://www.mercedes-benz.com/com/e/
(check it out in the browser). Therefore, we earnestly recommend that you study slightly the structure of a site, interesting for you, before creation of the project.
Export of the project
If the only access to the Internet you have is at work and there is no internet at your home, or you just want to share the obtained information with friends, it is necessary to transfer the downloaded information from the computer onto the other computer. However, usual copying doesn't always help because in this case the downloaded site should be placed in a folder on the other computer with precisely the same path; only so it is possible to expect for high-grade navigation on the downloaded site. In order to prevent such problems, we recommend using function of export on the project. Just open the necessary project and in adjustments of export specify the path to that folder in which you are going to place the project on the other computer, then boldly transfer the project.
Maximum efficiency of the program
WebTransporter brings the largest effect if it works by itself, and you, at this time, can be engaged in other businesses or you can just sleep. For this purpose, we recommend you to use the scheduler of tasks routinely «After end of the task, switch off the power supply to the computer». It is necessary to adjust the project and scheduler of tasks because the program itself, in due time, will connect with the Internet, download a site, and will then switch off the computer. In the morning you can calmly study that information which
WebTransporter will have obtained for you.
