Website Downloader 1.17

Website Downloader 1.17 | 1.1MB

Website Downloader is a software that enables you to download groups of files or entire Web sites from the Internet at high speed without having to manually browse through the sites. The program works by first scanning a selected site and producing a list of all files linked from that site. You may then select the files you want to download and they will then be saved on your system.

Since scanning is a much faster process than downloading, this process is quite efficient and in most cases is quicker than simply downloading everything from the site, especially in cases where you only want a small portion of the site contents. In addition to selecting files to download from the result of a scan, the program also allows you to download any specific list of files, which can be from any number of sites. This list can be created manually or imported from a text file. Since the scan results can be exported to a text file that can later be imported, this enables you to scan and download at different times, or to download additional files from the same site without having to scan it again.

Web Engineering


"The book represents a respectable attempt to advance the concepts of the emerging discipline of Web engineering. It is mostly oriented towards technical management, and stresses empirical investigations and testing issues. This makes the book unique in the current market.  As most of the topics addressed are not covered sufficiently in other current literature, I recommend the book to Web practitioners. It can also be valuable educational material for graduate students."

ince its original inception back in 1989 the Web has changed into an environment where Web applications range from small-scale information dissemination applications, often developed by non-IT professionals, to large-scale, commercial, enterprise-planning and scheduling applications, developed by multidisciplinary teams of people with diverse skills and backgrounds and using cutting-edge, diverse technologies.
As an engineering discipline, Web engineering must provide principles, methodologies and frameworks to help Web professionals and researchers develop applications and manage projects effectively. Mendes and Mosley have selected experts from numerous areas in Web engineering, who contribute chapters where important concepts are presented and then detailed using real industrial case studies. After an introduction into the discipline itself and its intricacies, the contributions range from Web effort estimation, productivity benchmarking and conceptual and model-based application development methodologies, to other important principles such as usability, reliability, testing, process improvement and quality measurement. This is the first book that looks at Web engineering from a measurement perspective.
The result is a self-containing, comprehensive overview detailing the role of measurement and metrics within the context of Web engineering. This book is ideal for professionals and researchers who want to know how to use sound principles for the effective management of Web projects, as well as for courses at an advanced undergraduate or graduate level.
