"No idea - can YOU get it to do something?"
Version: JOC Web Spider 5 build 1
Pros
Nothing. I don't even like that trying it was free. You should pay people for torturing them like this.
Cons
Once you've downloaded and installed the file, you've gotten as far as you can with this garbage. Open the program, and GOOD LUCK figuring out what to do next.
My bet? Uninstall and move on.

"What on earth?"
Version: JOC Web Spider 5 build 1
Summary

"a typical "graduate student" interface"
Version: JOC Web Spider 5 build 1
Summary
Truly a "graduate student" UI -
exemplifies the disappearance of "human factors" in IT, and the movement to 3rd-world engineering - i.e., illiteracy is the dominant
trend...haven't seen a UI so bad in awhile... Hint: the metaphor is BACKWARD - the orientation should be to a _remote_ URL or html pages somewhere - rather than to the product's proprietary objects... -
"How do ya use this???"
Version: JOC Web Spider 5 build 1
Summary
For a program that wants to be purchased, it would certainly behoove you to add some instructions on how to use this thing. Probably great software but I'll never know since I am not taking the time to decipher what it is you want us to do to make it work.

"Excellent spider with two major flaws"
Version: JOC Web Spider 5 build 1
Summary
This program boggles my mind. It is obviously very professionally written very fast and very stable and the UI is even pretty good. This is what mystifies me though; the searching and filtering is a fiasco and its nearly impossible to correctly select the files you actually want (if you have any complex query it's almost guarenteed to not get what you want, or more likely, get tons of things you DON'T want). The other huge problem is that it has no way to force all file names to retain the names they had on the originating server (or if there is a way, I couldn't find it in several hours of playing with the program). So it picks some random name for most of the files it downloads. I just don't get it, who wants this???
So in the end it's very difficult to say if it should be recommended or not. I guess if the two issues I list here aren't likely to affect you, then yeah, go for it, but these were just killers for me. It just ended up being a huge waste of time for me because I could never get it to do what I needed. -
"Just what I wanted"
Version: JOC Web Spider 5 build 1
Summary
Works pretty good. No limit on number of files like Teleport. doesn't seem as advanced as teleport but did the basic job of downloading an entire site for offline browisng.

"A really great tool, if only it didn't crash!"
Version: JOC Web Spider 5 build 1
Summary
Easy to use and understand, but there are still problems that need to be resolved. After a very short time of using (about 1 to 5 minutes) it soon crashes and generates an access violation and I have to start again. I am sure its ignoring my link exception list as well, because it ends up downloading pages I asked it not to download. There are some good features such as ability to easily navigate your newly downloaded pages. There are a couple of things I would also like to see included before I purchase it, such as the ability to only download up to a certain download quota (for those who have an internet download limit), especially if you leave it unattended overnight, etc.
