What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· New 'Allow spidering to these sites' option. Allows the WebVacuum to leave the original site, if links are to pictures or files that are stored on another site.
· Option to avoid downloading from original URL. For instance, if on a forum, blog or bulletin board, and the files are all stored on another site, then the WebVacuum will not dig deeper into the blog or forum, it would just download the off-site files.
· More ways to store files in directories. Store by date, or by main URL. Storing by main URL is good when the files are stored on many off-site places.
