Version: SuperBot Offline Browser 4.70.0071
"Promised to work, and it worked"
Pros: I tried this after using two others that crashed when downloading websites. SuperBot actually worked, need I say more? It isn't free, but it seems you get what you pay for here.

Version: SuperBot Offline Browser 4.6
"It works, which I can't say for other spiders I tried."
Pros: It works as advertised. I tried WebSlinky 1.3 Build 105 & Web Dumper 2.2.3 & SuperBot 4.6. The first two failed to download all the files on a simple mostly-text site properly, failing to capture the contents of at least one of the subdirectories. WebSlinky seemed pretty immature, with a very rudimentary user interface. It failed to download files with first space (%20) in the file name. Web Dumper had a little more-developed UI, but still didn't get the download right. Of the spiders I tried, only SuperBot worked correctly. It downloaded everything correctly and reset the links to work in the download. It is a little expensive, but it works.
Cons: A little pricey, but you get what you pay for, I suppose.

Version: SuperBot Offline Browser 4.1
Pros: I liked that could I just copy in a web address, and click on Copy Now, and have SuperBot do its job. I didn't have to go through some long wizard just to copy a site. The optional "voices" were very funny too ;) (look on the Preferences tab to see what I mean)

Version: SuperBot Offline Browser 4.1
"Super fast, super powerful, super easy"
Pros: All the other site rippers look and act the same; this one is uniquely suited to batch downloading pictures and websites without any fuss. I use it to make autorun CDs out of my favorite sites and play them on my laptop. Also, it works with Firefox and Opera!
Cons: It wasn't obvious that pressing F1 brings up the product help file.

"Why label as free when you limit it to not work?? be honest about your software"
Pros: installs fast. Thats about it
Cons: It's not that I don't support code writters, it is that I don't support dishonest ones. If you mark your software as free, then it had better be free. If you want to make a dollar on your software, fine, label it that way. none of this free software but you only get to download 100 pages and if you want more pay $30. If the other writers can be honest about their software and upfront say they are charging then so should you.
