WebStripper-help/advice needed.

Post by mart »

I've been using WebStripper very sucessfully for some time - much more user-friendly than Gozilla. But it is failing to download anything from one particular site.
I suppose some sites are protected but I have no way of telling. Anybody else have experience with it?

Have you tried changing 'Ranges' (left-hand side)?
First try checking the option 'Fetch graphics from other servers', as these sites often 'borrow' content. Though there are several bigger sites that I've failed to crack...............

I think part of the problem is that all the thumbnail pages have got the same URL. But I have found a way of downloading without too much hassle. There is a Slide-show mode so I can let each set run through that and then move the downloaded pics from TempInternetFiles. Its slow but I can make a pot of tea while they download.

Of course she's a ewe. Nothing queer about me.
Just wait until the Rugby world Cup starts. Then our exchanges will really get nasty.

You mean like any slower and you might need 2 Ewes to fill in the time
