Short: GNU Internet mirroring tool with interface. V1.01 Author: giamby@geocities.com (Giambattista Bloisi) Uploader: giamby geocities com (Giambattista Bloisi) Type: comm/www Version: 1.01 Architecture: m68k-amigaos IMPORTANT NOTE: GiambyNetGrabber (short gng) originally was created for being a shareware program, now I have decided to stop developing this project. The program is not yet very stable neither bug free, SOURCES are my GIFT to Amiga Community in the hope that someone restarts debugging/developing this program. Introduction ------------ GiambyNetGrabber is a freeware program which allows to recursively download, update and manage files from the internet. I decided to create this program when I noticed the huge limitations which web browsers have in some tasks, such as link handling or the slow and not so smart download process. But what mostly induced me to create this program was the observation that, actually, there's no web-mirroring tool on Amiga offering a graphical interface and other useful options. While developing it I also realized that GiambyNetGrabber is, maybe, the ideal complement of a web browser while browsing the web: it allows the rationalization of online times, making the simultaneous update of daily visited pages possible, as well as resuming interrupted downloads through the use of the HTTP/1.1 protocol. Here is a summary of the main program features: - MUI interface; - Drag & Drop; - AppWindow; - Context sensitive online help; - Customizable images; - Multiple processes, totally asynchronous; - More than 40 recognized and configurable HTML tags; - Internal support for filenames longer than 30 characters or containing characters not supported by the filesystem. Supported protocols: - HTTP/1.1 - high speed - restricted download - interrupted download resuming History ------- - V1.01 With this update I fix the infamous -5 internal error that sometimes appears. Thanks to Michael Jaccoud for reporting me this bug.
