Description
If you are viewing a Web site with your browser and you decide that you would like to make a copy of it on your hard drive, you have to manually save each page as you view it along with embedded pictures, sounds and so on. This can be a very long and tedious process, and in many cases it's more trouble than it's worth. It doesn't have to be that way, however, as Web Dumper makes this whole process very fast and easy.
With Web Dumper you can download entire Websites off of the Internet, and save them on your hard drive for later offline browsing. Downloaded Web sites are saved on your hard drive with their directory structure intact. Web Dumper automatically downloads HTML documents along with their embedded pictures, sounds, movies and so on while it screens them to look for any enclosed links to other documents.
Web Dumper lets you select which kinds of file you want to be dumped between more than 60 available standard types, the folder depth level, how links must be processed and if it must re-link your HTML documents for offline browsing.
In addition Web Dumper gives support to incremental downloads. Indeed, you can fetch contents by enclosing sequence numbers into brackets directly into the URL. For example http://www.maxprog.com/picture[12-15].jpg will have Web Dumper to download 'picture12.jpg' to 'picture15.jpg'. You can insert more sequences like in http://www.maxprog.com/test[1-2]/picture[001-002].jpg resulting in the files 'picture001.jpg' and 'picture002.jpg' from the folders 'test1' and 'test2' to be downloaded. The possibilities are endless, you can fetch whole image libraries or any kind of file (html, movies, etc…) in a blink.
What’s New

Doesnt Work

It once worked, almost
The app stopped working. I did not use it for a few months, and everyting seems to be okay, then nothing is downloaded.
When it did work, too may files "moved." I know this is the website stopping dumpers. The files I am trying to obtain are free for the taking...
does not help
Developer Response ,
Have you selected a target folder for the download? You can do that on the preferences, third panel, 'Download Folder'. By default, the 'Download' folder is selected but using something else would help to check if it is related to the issue. Also, on the main window make sure 'Web Site' is selected nect to the URL field.
Not Fit For Purpose
Way back in when the earth first started cooling WEB DUMPER was an amazing app and WORKED.
Somewhere along the way, the developer lost the way. The current app works for a while..... and then hangs.
We tried on Mac Pro 3.2 165 core Intel Xeon..... Macbook Pro 16-inch 5500 Radeon, 64GB Ram, 8TB SSD: both configurations more than sufficient to handle download tasks.
Repeated the app works for a while..... and then hands. The only way to fix it? FORCE QUIT
We write the developer. Their solution? Make sure you have the latest version 🙄 (For the record, we were on the latest version)
BOTTOM LINE: Great app, I wish they would FIX IT
****UPDATED 12 OCTOBER****
In the interests of full disclouse, the developer sent the following message
"Yes, checking you have the last version is the starting point. I usually check that at the very beginning of a support ticket. Then we check other things."
Which is all very well and good. The last time that the developer was contacted, they DID ask "What version are you on?" AND replied (in effect) "Oh.... websites sometimes hang which causes that problem". However this ignores the fact that THE APP FREEZES after a while and the only way to recovery is to force quit. That does not sound like third party website stopped responding business and more like shonky programming that needs to be fixed
