BlackWidow
BlackWidow is a web site scanner, a site mapping tool, a site ripper, a site mirroring tool, and an offline browser program. Use it to scan a site and create a complete profile of the site's structure, files, E-mail addresses, external links and even link errors. Then use it to download the site, with its structure and files intact, to use as a site mirror or to be converted by BlackWidow into a locally linked site for offline browsing and long-term reference. Or use it to scan for and download any selection of files: from 'JPG' to 'CGI' to 'HTM' to MIME types, from small to large files, in part of a site or in a group of sites. These pre-scan filtering options can save you countless on-line hours of searching and sorting. BlackWidow will scan HTTP sites, SSL sites (HTTPS) and FTP sites. Our Review: This is a very powerful web-site scanning device, allowing you to enter an address into the Explorer-like interface, select parameters of scanning (such as following links or not) and then effectively "capture" the nuts and bolts of that site very efficiently. The links, HTML files and others can then be saved to disk, creating an off-line library of the information contained. This is very useful for sites that are commonly visited and slow loaders, as you simply load the catalogue HTML from the local drive, without having to wait for those large pictures to download. On top of the great features already mentioned, it also has the ability to capture email addresses directly from the site.
