Medusa

Medusa is an easy-to-use application created to scour user-defined URL addresses in order to detect and retrieve the content available. It can also double as a file explorer for the items available locally.

Its main purpose is to find media files (images, audio and video) on the provided web page and download them.

The intuitive interface and comprehensive set of options makes it suitable for both beginners and more seasoned users. There is support for previewing image files and items can be opened straight from the application using the program associated by default.

Performing a fresh search entails providing an URL address to begin with as well as the type of data the program should target.

The program is flexible and enables the user to enrich the default list of supported categories and file types.

It can handle repositories where access is protected by a username and password if the right credentials are provided.

Customization of the search includes options for enabling the detection of embedded images

There are search filtering options available, which allow detecting the embedded images. Further refining of the returned results can be done through URL filtering.

Medusa eliminates the hassle of actually jumping from link to link in order to get to the desired data. It is an automatic solution for quickly reaching the content without opening a web browser and it does not need more user input than providing the necessary details for the search.

Once the search is started it runs until all the links are checked and the items are detected, thus saving plenty of time that can otherwise be invested in other endeavors.
