How to Download a Website or a List of URLs for Offline Use
General
- Starting address: Enter the starting address (URL) for the task.
- Retrieve pages up to... (Depth): The number of levels to download. Setting this to 0 will download only a single page. Setting this to 1 will download the page referenced by the starting address and all the pages linked to this page. The number of levels can be up to 255 but it is not recommended to set it higher than 2 unless you use filters.
- Task name: You can name a task. The name is for your reference only.
- Download new version of task: By default, the program never retrieves the same URL twice. If the URL is already retrieved by another task, that copy will be taken by the new task. Check this box if you want fresh copy of resources for this task.

Advanced Options
- User Agent: Select a User Agent from the drop down list or type in any name you want.
User Agent designates a client program (e.g. browser) used to access a web server. The User Agent is what websites see when you browse them. Some websites serve different content depending on the User Agent or may even restrict access to their content to all user agents except known ones (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator).
- Identify as Microsoft Internet Explorer: Choose a version in the box at the right.
- Other: Type in any other user agent name (empty user agent allowed too) or select a user agent from the drop-down list. The preset values in the list are mostly various versions of Netscape Navigator.
- Retrieve images only after retrieving last webpage of the task:
Select this checkbox if you want the program to retrieve webpages first and only then retrieve any other files linked to the webpages.
- Referrer Page Address: URL of the Referrer for the starting address. Referrer fields for
subsequent URLs extracted by the program spider are set automatically.
