"I paid for a registered copy"
Version: Advanced Site Crawler 2003 4.2
Summary
My initial review of this program was nothing less than praise. But after fully utilizing this program, I have found some bugs and some features LEFT OUT that obviously should have been included. They have not updated their software in 2 YEARS! I would not recommend buying until they fix and update this obsolete software.

"Pretty good, but simple"
Version: Advanced Site Crawler 2003 4.2
Summary
The site I need leeched is one where you have to POST a login and password to the site in order to retrieve html. Also, it'll probably require cookie/session functionality. SiteCrawler doesn't POST and I don't know if it will do cookies.
Optimally, I'd want this software to reuse IE's cookie stash, so that I could log in manually with explorer and then run sitecrawler.
Not bad otherwise. -
"Don't Bother"
Version: Advanced Site Crawler 2003 4.2
Summary
#1 > There doesn't appear to be a means of limiting activity to just the target website. Meaning, any link to an outsite website is searched as well. There is a preference to set the number of "levels" searched, although there is no clear indication if this means within the same website or outside the site's domain. Either way, it doesn't work in or out of the website.
#2 > Once a search is completed, the resulting list can not be sorted.
Recommendation = Don't bother ... look for "WebMiner" instead. THAT is a great program. -
"Useless: Good but messes up the links."
Version: Advanced Site Crawler 2003 4.2
Summary
Useless: Excellent UI, Downloads a boatload (takes a long long time), but the links cross and do not jump to where they are supposed to. I prefer Rip Clip, though it is not as easy to start using.

"Random pauses, doesn't stay on site"
Version: Advanced Site Crawler 2003 4.2
Summary
A lot of work was put into this title, too bad it wasn't tested. Pauses for 30 seconds at a time randomly (XP), won't stay on site or in sub-folder. Can't cancel in process download even though it says it can.
If they fix the problems it will be a good entry level crawler. -
