I. What is Crystal DownLoad ?
Crystal DownLoad (CDL), is a Netscape Nevigator* Add-on software,
it needs Netscape Navigator 1.1 or higher to function properly. The
best thing CDL can do is to download a batch of text files, pictures,
software library from the World Wide Webs, while you are visiting
some other Web Sites, or even you are not there. It could save
you hours of download time everyday. A great news for busy Web surfers
and picture collectors.
II. How to get started.
The best way to use CDL is while you are using Netscape Navigator.
Whenever you enter a site you feel like downloading, for example,
a site has links to pictures, move clips, or software, you can copy
the URL from Netscape, and paste into CDL's URL box. Once you
have copied the URL, you then can click the "Down Load" Button
to start the batch download process. you can change the default
settings in the batch load window. But if you just hit "Start",
Crstal Download will just download for you, to the place you
choose.

1. Level of depth: Web pages are linked by pointers. CDL allows
you to choose the number of levels from the original URL to
download. Bigger number will be able to download more files, but
