162705 2003-07-25 09:53:00 I am after a good freeware or non time limited software package to download a series of tutorials spread over several pages. I am using windows ME. Any ideas? Fred (1563)

Yep :)

I use a program called WebCopier
You can get it from here (www.maximumsoft.com) but it is only a trial version 30 days, but if you e-mail me stuartw77 at hotmail dot com I have a version which does not expire :)

Hope this helps :)

162707 2003-07-25 10:53:00 why does this sound illegal stu140103....

There are other freeware programs out there which can download entire websites. Have a hunt around the internet (I have used Teleport Pro before quite successfully, and Webreaper)

It is NOT illegal, I just got a copy of it before they ask you to pay for it :)

162710 2003-07-26 03:20:00 What I use is: (at the top level of the tutorial) File/Save as then pick a name. Type is HTML. Graham L (2)
162711 2003-07-27 04:12:00 Addendum: I have used this for simple things and it seems to work well. Immediately after posting this, I did it on a commercial site (www.nec-tokin.net/now/english/product/me/ --- which has lots of information about lithium-ion batteries) and when I got the floppy home and looked at it and it works "partly". :_| Some internal links correctly go to the sub-directories created, others want the actual Internet site. :-( Graham L (2)
162712 2003-07-27 09:27:00 I tried the 30 day trial of WebCopier as stu140103 had suggested which I managed to get working on a second try. I needed to download 170 interlinking pages. The first time it screwed up and I lost all of the HTML pages but kept the images...(Lucky I quess, as they amounted to 17meg of the total 20meg). The second time every thing seemed to be OK. The only thing it thinks it has locally are the zip's exe's arj's etc which you are supposed to be able filter out, which I had to stop downloading manually. Fred (1563)

162714 2003-07-27 11:51:00 Hi Fred
If you have FrontPage you can download whole sites easily.

Create a Directory to store it in.
Open FrontPage
File/Import/Import Web Wizard
Select your new Directory/OK
Type in the www of the site
Follow the prompts and that's it.

But then I suppose if you had FrontPage you would have used that already :-)
