Forum Downloader

Forum Downloader is a program designed to help users download forum threads and save them locally for offline viewing and researching.

To connect to the target site, the application requests the forum address, username, and password, while logging into your target forum remotely. The utility automatically detects the website language and translates it into English by default.

Users can download the selected forums in three different formats, in original thread pages with no changes, HTML pages, or simply text pages. All these are implemented to make it easy for users to access them in offline mode. The user agent can be changed from the default forum downloader to Opera, Firefox, Chrome, or even Googlebot.

Users can also grab external links as TXT files or full pages which the program will add to the download queue, or simply have their links processed with the associated script. Thanks to an integrated HTTP debugger, users can connect to the website, get the HTTP itself downloaded, and resolve any script issues. The debug messages can be saved to logs in order to keep an eye on the overall process.

In case external links embedded in the forum threads are dangerous, Forum Downloade allows users to block them by either manually inputting their address or having their IP blocked. The tool can also convert extended ASCII and translated filenames.

Users can also use proxy connections in case they want to keep their IP hidden and have downloads delayed by a certain amount of time, in order to not raise suspicions with the hosting servers and administrators.

Forum Downloader is a nice and effective tool to remotely connect and download forum threads and pages without getting detected by admins. Although not completely fail-safe, it can provide an entry route to special pages and links without having your presence noted on the website. This way, users remain intrusive while relatively safe when attempting to sneak data from selected forum websites.
