Getting Started

What is WebZIP?
QuickStart

Quick Start

Lets get started using WebZIP.

As an example, we'll download and Zip an entire online issue of Wired Magazine.  For this we've checked out the Web site and found that each issue is organized within its own subdirectory.  Now, say we want the February 1998 issue. The URL for this issue is:

The entire content for this issue falls under this subdirectory.

Now armed with this knowledge, we can use WebZIP to download and Zip all the pages and images within this subdirectory.

Step 1: Enter the Starting Address (URL) on WebZIP's main toolbar.

Step 2: Select the profile 'Selected Directory (Text, Images)' on the toolbar.

Step 3:  Select how you want the Website saved.  Whether you want it zipped or downloaded to your Personal Intranet Folder. You can do this via the 2 buttons on the main toolbar

Step 4:  Click GO.

 

That's all there is to it!  Now sit back and watch WebZIP in action.  In the Tasks screen, you'll notice a new task called 'wired'.

You can stop a task at any time by clicking the X next to it and resume at any other time by clicking on the > icon and selecting Resume from the pop-up dialog box.

In the Connections screen you can watch the progress of the download. Use the graphs to check on download speed or total Kbytes downloaded. Also notice the status bar displays the number of Web pages and images which have been downloaded.

You can also Browse the Web pages as they're downloaded and stored onto your hard disk or Zipped.

Once the download is complete, a popup dialog box notifies you and displays the results of the download.
