What about giving you extra information to optimize eCatch ?

• eCatch uses the same Internet Explorer (.URL) files to store addresses and properties. Agents are used to working alike which means text files are used by both softwares.
• In case you are browsing with IE, simply add a page you are interested in to your favourite folder (remember properties are inherited from IE to eCatch) : next time you start eCatch (or the related agent) our software shall download the page you added to favourites.
• Any downloaded page is stored intact. Only exported files are modified to avoid dead links. That means you can Save as an original document with no trouble.
• eCatch manages networking connections without any extra software provided that you comply with a restriction: in case eCatch is installed on several platforms, the one which is connected is evidently in charge for retrieving and updating network agents on other PCs. Thus, never download and update the same agent from two separate machines in the meantime. You should do it that way :
  • Do call "server" the Internet connected machine; client must access at least one server directory where files will be stored.
  • Create an agent on server, and choose a basket directory easily accessible for the client machine.
  • Create a new agent on client machine and select the "server" basket directory as the default folder.
  • Both agents may be named alike in order to avoid confusion; then, agents can be handled either from server or from client computer provided that download sessions are not simultaneous (technically speaking there is no prohibition but you may experience share violation errors).
• Another option would be to export files to a shared directory easily browsable through your current navigator from other computers. Subject to that, others machines won't be able either to manage advanced search or to ask server machine to launch new downloads.
