Blue Crab 5.0.03 Publisher's Description

Blue Crab is a versatile program that you use to copy the contents of a website to your computer, in whole or in part. Conduct fast offline browsing and searching without an internet connection. Create a snapshot of a website for historical archiving. Collect specific types of resources such as images or email addresses. Search current content more thoroughly than a search engine right on your own computer. Check a site for broken links, or generate an HTML site map Perform batch downloads of URLs Create full page images of URLs (JPEG, BMP, TIFF, PNG, PSD, etc.) With Blue Crab you can download all the content including HTML, PDF, graphics, video, file archives, etc., or use selective filtering to restrict downloads to specific kinds of files. For example, you can choose to save only the JPEG images Blue Crab finds, or just the PDFs. Blue Crab has a special feature called the "Media Grabber" which you can use to easily download just the images (or movies) on a website. Moreover, you can view a slide show of the images as they are downloaded. You also have the option of "flattening" the images, i.e. putting them all into one folder, or preserving the folder structure on the server (just as when downloading a complete website for offline viewing.) Starting with a single URL Blue Crab begins traversing the site by following the links on the HTML pages it finds. Blue Crab does not stray off the domain of the starting URL; in other words it won't download the whole web! Moreover, you can restrict Blue Crab to a subset of the given website by specifying strings that must match parts of the URL. Blue Crab is gentle on the server. It processes only one URL at a time and may be configured to grab resources at preset time intervals.
