[Update] WebReaper 10.0 released (!!!)

Few days ago JExplorer, now WebReaper: sometimes they come back :p

WebReaper is web crawler or spider, which can work its way through a
website, downloading pages, pictures and objects that it finds so that
they can be viewed locally, without needing to be connected to the
internet. The sites can be saved locally as a fully-browsable website
which can be viewed with any browser (such as Internet Explorer,
Netscape, Opera, etc), or they can be saved into the Internet Explorer
cache and viewed using IE's offline mode as if the you'd surfed the
sites 'by hand'.

Features:

- Multithreaded downloading
- Explorer-style interface
- ShockWave Flash support - downloads/fixes up SWF movies for local
browsing
- User-customisable filters - limit by depth, time per object, total
time and 'distance' from starting server, and many others.
- Simple-to-use filter wizard - helps you build complex filters quickly
and easily.
- Full Drag & Drop support - drag links to/from Internet
Explorer/Netscape.
- Save downloaded files using relative paths to recreate websites stored
locally with links adjusted to make them fully browsable.
- 'Resume' mode reads files saved locally to avoid reloading unchanged
pages
- Proxy & website authentication, allowing websites with passwords or
behind firewalls to be reaped.
- 'URL Profiles' allow depth and filter configurations to be saved with
associated URLs for easy re-reaping in future.
- Command-Line execution to run as a batch process, using a task
scheduler (not provided).
- Works with GetRight® for large file downloads.

What's new:

Smart ordering when downloading - images, etc., are given priority,
which should result in more completed pages downloading when a site
download is stopped before completion. Also options to replace
..ASP/.PHP/.ASPX file extensions with .HTML which works better for local
browsing, as well as automatically renaming files with .HTML file
extensions if no extension existed previously. New option to include
download date as part of local folder name. Also added support for
downloading images embedded in CSS files. This version is compiled with
Visual Studio.Net.

Thanks Henry.

Webreaper was even once shareware but it quickly went back to the freeware home :)

Has anyone any experience concerning "webreaper vs httrack" ?

Not yet.

I d/l'd and installed WebReaper. Two (minor) surprises: it now uses the
..net libraries and, it's asking to reboot my system (Win2k) before the
install finishes.

If I get around to using it, I'll post a comparison.
