Creating new Profiles

Creating new profiles is easy, and can save you a lot of time when downloading a website using the same download method every time.

Perhaps the best way to explain the creation of a new profile is to go through an example.

Let's say we wish to download a certain page and all pages linked to this page.  Now if we do this type of download often, it would be nice to have a profile which has this scenario already setup for us. Call it:

Selected Page + 1 Level (Text, Images)

Step 1:  New | WebZIP Task.
This opens the WebZIP Task Wizard, where we enter the Starting URL, Task Name, and Download Destination.

Step 2: Select Create New Profile.

Step 3: Levels and Locations.

  • Levels - Current Page + 1 Level
  • Page Location - Current Site
  • Resource Location - Current Site

This will get only pages and resources on the current site and only follow links on the first page. (starting address)

Step 4: Save Profile.
The profile can now be named and saved.
