"confusing to use"
Version: WinWSD WebSite Downloader 1.1
Cons
The UI made no sense. I tried to download a website but got an error log instead. The people who made it don't write very good English and I had no idea what they were trying to say.

"Easy to Use, Convenient, No Problems"
Version: WinWSD WebSite Downloader 1.1
Pros
I was very happy with this program. There are many options, such as the ability to download the website or just the page, to leave in or leave out media/pics, etc., you can define how far into links you want to download, it starts and stops real nice, good indexing, tells you what's downloaded so far and what's not. You simply start a "project" , specify your options by using the tabbed menu, then "add" urls. It also gives detailed information on the transfer speed, progress, etc. I was very happy with this. I downloaded this and another program (surfulator) and surfulator was more difficult so I used this first (and this is free, the other is just free trial), but this will probably be my default offline source for webpages. It's very convenient for saving webpages on related topics and helps keep them organized, and all your links are right there instead of opening up new files all the time. I highly recommend it.
Cons
It would be nice to have the option to start a new project while downloading another. As it stands now, you can only download one "project" at a time and can't create a new one while that's downloading. I did notice sufulator had options for clippings and articles to be attached with the links, and that would be convenient with this program, but since this is free and does the job it's more than worthwhile! Definitely recommend WinWSD Web Downloader.

"pretty good"
Version: WinWSD WebSite Downloader 1.1
Pros
It works very well, it downloads everything you want, and it isnt very complicated, you can also change the apperence of it and its alot faster than other website downloaders
Cons
Nothing bad that i can think of but with big websites after downloading them the program may take a while to get a filelist (which is normal) but a pain to wait for

"Crashes, quite a few crashes."
Version: WinWSD WebSite Downloader 1.1
Pros
Simple, decent layout with nice options that are tweakable (what you'd mainly expect though from a competing product).
Cons
Crashes on Vista Ultimate (RTM) during installation, then continues installation, then ultimately runs fine, then crashes randomly during saving of the configuration options. It did it's job though and leeched several websites for me, for offline browsing.

"It works fine"
Version: WinWSD WebSite Downloader 1.1
Pros
It is able to do what you really want: to download a full webpage. It has all the basic options, such as scheduling or connecting via proxy.
Cons
The help is too concise, and the FAQ's are not in english (but in hungarian). Anyway, it is normal in a freeware program.
