What is Web Devil?
Web Devil is a tool for downloading web pages and their associated images, textures, and links quickly and easily. Give it a URL and it will download all the items on that web page. It has an easy to use interface, is scriptable and recordable, and is fully multi-threaded so it won't hog the CPU.
What isn't Web Devil?
Web Devil is not a complete web site management tool. It was mainly designed to make it easy to grab textures and images off of web pages and to make local copies of your web sites for easy maintenance. It doesn't download secure (encrypted) pages and it may not work through some firewalls.
Web Devil does not modify the files it downloads. Because of this, offline browsing will not work with sites that use absolute URL's.
What does Web Devil require to run?
Web Devil should run on any Macintosh running System 7 or greater with the Thread Manager (built-in to System 7.5 and greater) and access to the Internet. Web Devil is 100% compatible with MacOS 8 and 8.1.
How do I use Web Devil?
Using Web Devil is simple: Simply create a new Web Devil window (if one isn't already on the screen) by selecting New Web Devil from the file menu and then type in the web page you'd like to suck. Once you've typed it in, just click "Suck Web Page" and that's it. Web Devil will download the page, scan it for any links, and download them. It's that simple.
If you don't want certain files to be downloaded (eg. you don't want images), simply uncheck one or more of the options within the Web Devil window.
Balloon Help is completely supported so turn it on while you're running the application for more help.

Can I distribute Web Devil?
Yes, please do! You may distribute this application anyway you want as long as you include the full package and do not charge for it. Reasonable media and distribution costs excluded. I want as many people to get this as possible.
What did you use to create Web Devil?
Web Devil was written in C++ using CodeWarrior and PowerPlant. Resources were created and edited with Constructor and Resorcerer.
