Many Web sites change rapidly and it is hard to find information that was there before. With Offline Explorer Pro, you can make an archive of files that are interest you and access them at any time, even if the original Web site no longer exists.
-
A powerful Export feature of Offline Explorer Pro allows you to share downloaded files with other people, transfer them to other computers or even make Web sites for burning to CDs.

Such a CD could be viewed under any operating system, such as Mac OS or Linux.
-
Thanks to the powerful scheduling feature, you can automatically monitor Web sites and download changed information.

You can also set up Offline Explorer Pro to dial the Internet when necessary and hang-up the connection, exit itself or shut down the computer once all downloads complete.

Why Offline Explorer Pro?
-
It has an excellent user interface that combines ease-of-use and power. You will find it simple and understandable while containing everything you need to complete even the most difficult downloading tasks.
-
Offline browsing is very easy with Offline Explorer Pro thanks to its Internal Web browser. You may print downloaded Web pages directly from Offline Explorer Pro. Various external browsers are also supported and automatically recognized - MS Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator, Opera, NetCaptor.
-
Offline Explorer Pro supports most modern Internet technologies. Many Web sites contain Java scripts, Java classes, require cookies, post requests, referrers, Style Sheets (CSS), Macromedia Flash, XML/XSL files, Contents (.TOC), MP3 list (.M3U), Authorware (.AAM), Acrobat (.PDF), RealMedia (.SMIL, .RAM, .RPM), VRML (.WRL, .WRZ), QuickTime video (.MOV) and MS NetShow Channel (.NSC) files. Offline Explorer Pro not only downloads these files, but also processes them to extract links and change them for offline browsing. Thus, you get the most complete Web site version that is highly prepared for offline browsing.
-
You can download not only Web sites, but also FTP, secured (HTTPS) and streaming (MMS, PNM, RTSP) sites. Various proxy servers are also supported, giving you access from inside a firewall or Intranet - HTTP, SOCKS 4/5, RTSP, User@Site. Download speed is the highest among offline browsers, because Offline Explorer Pro is capable of downloading up to 500 files simultaneously.

You can use a Wizard, import from Favorites, Bookmarks, Hot lists, drag-and-drop links from browsers, paste them from the clipboard, use the context menu in MS Internet Explorer, add instantly from the Address bar and others. Multiple Project templates simplify routine new Project tasks.
-
Downloaded Web sites are stored in their native format rather than proprietary databases or formats. All links are made relative, so it is easy to move them to another place or even publish on your own Web server.
-
You have full control while downloading. Any Project allows you to specify which file types to load and which to skip, based on their extension, size, location. You can use keywords to specify servers, directories or filenames to be allowed or disallowed for downloading. You can abort any file download simply by right clicking on it. Offline Explorer Pro Pro and Enterprise editions allows you to manage the download queue. You can run, stop, suspend and resume downloading, save it to a file to continue later from exactly that point.
-
We focused on handy Projects management. You see all Projects (downloading tasks) at once on the screen. Any number of Projects could be started for downloading at the same time. You can group them by folders. You can add, edit, delete, copy, paste, backup, restore, search or export Projects and folders. You can view the Site Map of any downloaded Project and manage it.
-
It is possible to preserve old downloaded files, keeping up to 10,000 copies of older files.
Getting Started
After Offline Explorer Pro is installed and running for the first time there are three simple steps to offline browsing.
Step 1. Creating a new Project for downloading.
The Project defines from which web page the download should start and how many pages Offline Explorer Pro should download for you.
By default you get a New Project Wizard screen when you run Offline Explorer Pro. If it doesn't show, click the Wizard button on the Ribbon - Home tab and follow the steps to create a Project. At the end of the Wizard you will be prompted to start downloading the new Project. The newly created Project will be added to the Projects tree on the left side of the Offline Explorer Pro screen.
Step 2. Waiting for the download to complete.
The new Project will be created and will start downloading. The green arrow on the Project icon indicates that the download goes on. When the download completes the green arrow disappears.
Once the download has been started, Offline Explorer Pro begins loading files referenced by the Project URL (starting address). Every link in the file is checked against the limits set in the Project Properties: Level, File Types, File Sizes, URL Filters, etc. Since Offline Explorer Pro downloads a limited number of files at one time, other files are placed in the Queue to wait for the download. The Status bar displays the number of processed (downloaded) files and the number of files waiting in the Queue. When all files are downloaded and no files are left in Project Queue, the Project download is complete.
Step 3. Viewing downloaded files offline.
Now the web site is available for browsing off line. Right-click the downloaded Project and select Browse. Offline Explorer Pro will detect the best way to display the site, either in Internal browser or in your default WWW browser.
You may repeat steps 1-3 at any time. Offline Explorer Pro supports creation of an almost unlimited number of Projects, which could be downloaded in parallel.
