General
Start page
Enter the URL in this field to start downloading the project from. For example:
http://www.surfoffline.com/order/ or ftp://ftp.someserver.com/ or https://www.somesecureserver.com
Project name
This name is displayed in the project tree.
Levels
Depth level. Shows how deep from the start page the links will be downloaded.
For example:
The page A refers to the pages B and C.
- "Start page only (level 0)" — only the page A will be downloaded together
with all its images, javascript, css.
- "Start page and [1] level(s)" — the pages A, B, C will be downloaded
together with all their images, javascript, css
- "All levels" — the pages A, B, C will be downloaded together with
all the pages linked to them no matter how deep the link will lead. Thus,
"All levels" should be selected only when you have specified restrictions
in the URL filters, for example, limit downloading to the "Start host", in
this case the entire web site you specify will be downloaded

URL Filters
Protocol Filters
You can select from the list of protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP) those via which
downloading is permitted.
URL Filters
An URL consist of protocol, host name, filename on the host, query, fragment/anchor
.
<Protocol>://<Host>/<Path>/<FileName>?<Query>#<Fragment>
Example: http://www.somehost.com/dir1/dir2/forum.php?a=1&submit=yes#some_anchor
| Protocol |
Host |
Path |
Filename |
Query |
Fragment/anchor |
| http |
www.somehost.com |
dir1/dir2 |
forum.php |
a=1&submit=yes |
some_anchor |
Let us see how URL Filters work in the following examples:
Let the Start page be http://www.myserver.com/dir1/dir2/forum.php
This filter permits downloading files only from the starting host and from
the folders located below. It means that http://www.myserver.com/dir1/ will
not be downloaded, while http://www.myserver.com/dir1/dir2/somedir/somefile.htm
will.
This filter is similar to the previous one, except that it is forbidden to
download files with the name *readme*
This filter permits downloading files from the starting host and from folders
below the starting host. As well as the files located below http://www.someserver.com/folder1/folder2/,
i.e. the file http://www.someserver.com/folder1/folder2/simple.htm will be downloaded
as well as the file http://www.someserver.com/folder1/folder2/anotherfolder/
This filter permits downloading any files from the starting host and from any
folders, except the files *faq*
This filter permits downloading all files and directories from the starting
host.
This filter permits downloading all files and directories from any host.
