Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
Teleport Pro allows users to download and view all the elements of a Web site. While this program provides offline browsing, it is not without some flaws that might turn users off.
This program's layout is initially intimidating, offering tons of white space and not much direction. Fortunately, there is a wizard that walks users through every step of the process. Utilizing the command icons after downloading a Web site may require a visit to the Help file, as it also provides no direction for the user. Working through the wizard was simple enough for every level to utilize. First, users choose whether they want to download an entire site, duplicate a Web site, search a site for a specific file type, search Web sites for keywords, and a few other options. Beyond that, users enter the URL and click a few radio buttons to perform the download. Each site is displayed as a file tree, which helps showcase how the site is organized and structured. The program is light on features, and we would have liked a viewer, so that users can surf through their downloaded content like an online browser, instead of having to click through the file tree.
With its uncomfortable navigation and difficult Web site viewing, we have tested more user-friendly offline browsers. However, this trial (with a 500-file download limit) could be useful to study Web site structures. This download can be a big help or a headache depending on your needs.
Publisher's Description
From Tennyson Maxwell Information Systems:
Teleport Pro is a fully automated, multithreaded, link-following, file-retrieving webspider. It will retrieve all the files you want and only the files you want from any part of the Internet. Teleport Pro can completely copy a website, enabling you to 'offline browse' the site at much greater speeds than if you were to browse the site online, search a website for files of a certain type (and even size) and make exact duplicates of websites.
Version 1.60 has improved browser compatibility mode to add zip doc avi mov mpg mp3 xml extensions for files that need them and fixed bug Clear Project Database in Exec could cause modal dialog if used without a run option.
What's new in this version: Version 1.62 added PDF content type check and updated Netiquette system to impersonate latest IE and Firefox browsers.

"A great way to copy a website for offline viewing"
Version: Teleport Pro 1.62
Pros
Very easy and quick
Cons
Data folder a bit confusing at first
Summary
Great product
-
"Good for what it does"
Version: Teleport Pro 1.62
Pros
Extremely fast at grabbing sites.
Cons
Not user friendly. Gotta kinda figure things out on your own.
Summary
It's not a tool for hacking - but it CAN be used to create PHISHING sites! Because it downloads the pages and images which can be viewed offline, a site can be reconstructed as a phishing site - with all the original images and code. It is also great for downloading all the images of a gallery at once. Beyond this, I am not sure I understand the use of a program like this.

"An excellent program -- I have been using for years."
Version: Teleport Pro 1.62
Pros
Teleport Pro does a first-rate job. To criticize it as hard to use or somehow permits you to hack a web site is nonsense.
Yes, I do recommend you use all the instructions all the way through before just firing it off.Cons
Careful not to set this program to copying some huge web site without setting a time or space limit, or you will wake up in the morning and find your hard drive is filling up.
Summary
Excellent program. I have used other programs over the years, but I have found nothing as dependable and full-featured as Teleport Pro.

"No legitimate use for this unless you?re a HACKER"
Version: Teleport Pro 1.62
Pros
Absolutely None
Cons
This software allows hackers to steal sites for profits temporarily. If you want to go to jail use this software the FBI Internet Crime dept is also now aware of this malicious product and will prosecute thieves. No matter country you try to hide in.
Summary
Being a victim of this malicious software has cost me thousands of dollars tracking down the thief?s who steal legitimate web sites and then run Google word ads for profit. It pretty obvious that CNET has not done any investigation for the use of this software that breaks firewalls for the sole purpose of stealing someone else hard work. Be advised that Google is now fully aware of this software and filing a DMCA complaint will result in the cancelation of the thief?s word ad account thus providing no more reason to steal. Additionally copying legitimate web sites creates duplicate content a Google penalty for site copied. So if your site is copied be sure to contact Google right away and they will remove the penalty and do some cool stuff to the hacker especially if they have copied a bunch of sites and use word ads. Basically every site can be tracked and Google will cancel all their accounts and blacklist them and not pay them. Ha Ha hackers I won a battle.
What a surprise this link above "CNET staff on July 15, 2009" returns a 404 error. CNET should be ashamed of this review as it promotes hacking. How would CNET like to become a victim of this software? CNET should step and help prevent internet crime instead of promoting it. ?With its uncomfortable navigation and difficult Web site viewing, we have tested more user-friendly offline browsers.? Come on! No One views content off line and why would someone copy a 20,000 page web site except to exploit it. CNET would probably pay closer attention to its Staff reviews if it was held liable for the damages it causes by allowing these types of software to be easily downloaded with reviews from them. Perhaps a lawsuit for damages would give CNET a social conscience about promoting hacking.
