It is an interesting technique for offline study when you want to search offline you simply download the whole site and when you get the time you simply open the downloaded site ,
let me tell you that you can download photos ,videos ,audios any thing you want just follow these instructions..
Step 1.
Set a start page
On the first step of the wizard you should specify the start page. By
default, http protocol is assumed; other protocols like https are required to be
specified explicitly. The start page also sets the current site. For example if
you specified http://www.tonec.com/support/index.html, the current site would be
www.tonec.com with all supported protocols like ftp, https, http applied to this
site name.
If a site requires authorization, you should also set login and password on
this step. Some sites allow browsing/downloading only after authentication on a
certain page. In this case you should press on
"Advanced>>" button, check "Enter login and
password manually" box, and specify the page to login to the site. Also
if the site has a logout button, you should specify here the logout pages that
the Grabber should not open. If you set the login page, the Grabber will open a
browser window after the fourth step and let you login to the site manually
before proceeding with exploring and downloading.
If you plan to save the grabber project for a later use, then you need to
choose a unique project name and enter it in "Grabber Project
Name" field at the top of the dialog. The project name is shown in the
list of saved projects in the categories tree of the main IDM dialog.
If you need to download all pictures, video or audio files from a website,
or download a complete web site, you may select the appropriate template in
Project template listbox. Project templates make it easy to start your projects
quickly, because all required settings are made automatically.
But it's not necessary to select a project template. Project templates make
predefined settings in your project for the next steps of grabber wizard. If you
download files from web sites with the same Grabber settings, you may choose the
"custom" template on this step, make necessary settings on the next stages, and
then save the settings as a template by picking "Project->Save
current settings as a template" menu item
Step 2.
Select where to save files to.
On the second step you need to select where to save all downloaded
files.
You can save each file to a folder according to the category of the file.
For example, if you have "compressed files" category defined which lists zip arj
and rar file types, and it has an associated folder, for example, c:\my
documents\myname\downloads\compressed, then all downloaded zip, arj and rar
files will be saved to c:\my documents\myname\downloads\compressed folder.
Also you can save all downloaded files to a folder associated with a
selected category. You will need to select the corresponding radio button, and
choose a category. The grabber will find and show a directory below the
category.
If you want to create all folders as created on the web site, you can
select a directory where to save all downloaded files and check "use
original relative subfolders" box.
If you are downloading a complete web site, or a part of a web site, you
can check the box to convert links to local for offline browsing. This checkbox
is disabled when you select a template on the first step which doesn't require
saving any html pages, for example "All images from a web site" template. After
downloading of all selected files or after stopping the grabber, the grabber
will convert the links to downloaded files to local relative ones for every
downloaded web page. Also the grabber will convert all links to the files that
are not downloaded (remote files) to absolute internet links.
If "Overwrite existing files" box is not checked and the
file with the same name already exists, the grabber will add underline and a
number to the file name, for example index_2.html.
It's not necessary to check "Add checked files to IDM"
box, the main Grabber window toolbar has a button with the same functionality to
add all selected files to the main download list of Internet Download Manager.
If this checkbox is checked, the grabber will add selected files to IDM
automatically on closing the grabber.
Step 3.
Set site explorer filters.
At this step you should specify what web pages to explore to search for
required files. Please note that you set the criteria only for explored web
pages. You can set file types, location, and other filters for downloaded files
on the next step.
The start page that you specified on the first step sets the current site
to explore. For example if you specified
http://www.tonec.com/support/index.html, the current site would be www.tonec.com
with all supported protocols applied to this site name like
https://www.tonec.com and ftp://www.tonec.com. On this step you can tell the
Grabber to find all files on the current site only, or you can specify the
number of levels of web pages to process on the current (this) site and the
number of levels of web pages to process on other sites
. Be careful setting a large number of levels for other sites,
because it may slow down IDM showing useless files, and it may lead to
processing of millions of needless pages.
If you check "Ignore popup windows" box, the Grabber will
not explore the web pages that pop up in browsers during page loading. Note that
the popup window term is not applicable for the Grabber, it's applicable for web
browsers. The grabber doesn't open any browser windows except when you are using
a manual authentication.
If the start web page has a path relative to the site name (for example
http://www.tonec.com/support/index.html) then "Don't explore parent
directories" checkbox will be active. If you check "Don't
explore parent directories" box, then the Grabber will not explore
parent directories relative to the start page. For example, for
http://www.tonec.com/support/index.html, the grabber will NOT explore
http://www.tonec.com/index.html and http://www.tonec.com/other/index.html, but
will explore http://www.tonec.com/support/file.html and
http://www.tonec.com/support/other/index.html
If you check the "Explore all sites within the main
domain" box, then the Grabber will explore all other domains which have
a common part with the start page domain. For example for
http://www.tonec.com/support/index.html, the grabber will explore
http://tonec.com http://ftp.tonec.com and http://some.other.domain.tonec.com. On
child domains the Grabber will explorer the number of levels specified for the
current site.
If you click on "Advanced >>" button, the dialog
will expand and let you specify include and exclude filters for the
domains/paths within which you need to explore pages You can use asterisk
wildcard to match any number of any characters to create a filter pattern.
Step 4.
Set file filters
On this step you should set file types, locations and other filters for
downloaded files. You can set include and exclude filters for all file types.
If you are not satisfied with predefined filters, you can add/change them
by using "Add Filter" button. After clicking on "Add
Filter", the following "Edit Filters" dialog will appear.
For a filter that contains several file types, the file type elements
should be separated from each other with commas without spaces. The asterisk
wildcard (*) denotes any number of any characters. Using a wildcard you can
create a pattern matching several file names for example "image*.jpg" pattern
matches any jpg image filename starting from "image" word, like image01.jpg,
image2.jpg, imageHot.jpg, and image735.jpg. It's possible to use "<start
page>" expression in filters to specify the start page set on the first step.
If you check "Search files on this site only" box then the
files located on other sites won't be shown in the main Grabber window, and the
Grabber won't check the size and the type of these files.
It's very likely that during exploring a project, the Grabber will find
many copies of the same file in different locations. If you check "Hide
duplicate files found in different locations", the grabber will show
only the first copy of the file it finds. The grabber treats a file as a copy if
it has the same name and the same size. This option is disabled when
"use original relative subfolders" option is enabled.
If you check "Start downloading all matched files at once"
then all found files will be downloaded immediately. You may explore the site at
first, check the files that you need, and download them in the main Grabber
window, or add them to the main list of IDM.
"Advanced >>" button expands the dialog and let you
set include and exclude filters for the paths/domains where the Grabber will
download files from. You can use the asterisk wildcard (*) to denote any number
of any characters. Also you can set the minimum and the maximum size of files to
download.
