Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
A rare find in this genre, WinWSD WebSite Downloader is a freebie that is a snap to use and does what it promises.
The interface is plain, but logically constructed with pull-down menus. Unlike so many other Web site downloaders, this one makes it easy to set up your downloads. You can go with the five default options to download the whole site, skip the multimedia files, grab only photos or only the multimedia files, or download only executables. Those basic scenarios will handle the vast majority of your download needs; while additional tweaks make it easy to specify files to download. Additional options let you set a download to shut down the program or your system after completion. Viewing a completed download is easy inside the program or through your favorite browser. This program doesn't change all internal links to their download location, though it does adjust some. Some of the Help file (and the occasional option) appears in Hungarian.
Those who download whole Web sites or select file types will find this freeware easy to learn and operate, and flexible enough to handle most needs.
Publisher's Description
From Attila Keszi:
WinWSD WebSite Downloader allows you to download Websites, in order to view them offline (without Internet connection) later. The software first downloads the whole Website with pictures, and movies to our computer's hard disk (we need Internet connection for this) and later we can browse offline. So once we download the Website, and later we can browse our favorite Website 24 hours a day without phone bill increase. Using this software is very easy.
WinWSD WebSite Downloader is in the Offline Browsers category of the Browsers section.

"PDF CREATOR Jammed with spyware"
Version: WinWSD WebSite Downloader 1.1
Pros
print to a pdf
Cons
It will Hijack your computer, load MixiDJ crap all through your programs files and registry. Avoid at all costs. The fact that this is allowed is terrible. Sourceforge should be more responsible and BLOCK any more access to this terrible download.
Summary
SourceForge now disseminates malware via programs like PDF Creator which is jammed packed with malware like MixiDJ. Avoid at all costs.

"Installs spyware"
Version: WinWSD WebSite Downloader 1.1
Pros
May work if you give it all the permissions it requires.
Cons
Loads spyware via bundled download. Changes your homepage. Switches your default web search to Conduit through a sketchy add-on called "mixi-dj". Takes a good while to remove it all. See http://www.411-spyware.com/remove-mixi-dj-toolbar for instructions.
Summary
Installs spyware, hijacks homepage and search engine. Avoid.

"Avoid unless you want them to hack your details"
Version: WinWSD WebSite Downloader 1.1
Pros
None! what a piece of ****.
Cons
For starters it didn't work, so I removed it, but get this the ***** used the login details I'd entered (for the site that didn't download) and logged into the site! As the site doesn't allow multiple logins, they've pissed me off no end. Password will be changed when possible.
Summary
Don't trust these bastards and avoid this piece of spyware.

"Didn't work, installed crapware I opted not to install"
Version: WinWSD WebSite Downloader 1.1
Pros
None, it didn't work.
Cons
On my Windows 7, 64 bit, could not create a new project. It produced a dialog box that just regenerates itself when you hit OK. I had to reboot to get rid of it. Windows task manager could not get rid of it. It installed it's "Iminent" toolbar even though I had unchecked that option. Installed something called InfoAtoms which can't be uninstalled by the usual method in Windows.

"Simple, great and Yes it works on Windows 7 64"
Version: WinWSD WebSite Downloader 1.1
Pros
Works fine. It shows some limitations and it's not too user friendly but it does the job; when it can't download a site it's usually because the site prevent it.
To run it on Windows 7 64, run it as administrator. Right click the app before launching and click "run as administrator"Cons
Not really for a free app
