Website DORM (formerly Website Monitor)

Website DORM is a software tool that was designed specifically to aid people in grabbing new elements from their favorite sites and saving them to the computer.

After going through a seamless and quick installation process, you are brought to a simple and clear-cut interface, as it consists of a menu bar, several buttons, a folder structure and a pane in which to view all tasks created. A comprehensive Help Manual is provided online, as well as a few video demos, thus ensuring that all types of users can find their way around it, be they beginners or highly experienced ones.

It is possible to create an unlimited number of tasks of websites you should check and download, which are going to be displayed in the main menu as a folder structure, as well as a list with details such as last run time, total number of items downloaded, as well as the ones updated, viewed and not opened.

In order to add a new job, you are required to input the URL that interests you, the domain, maximum number of pages to download and the maximum file size. It is possible to start and stop this operation at any point, while you can also schedule to recheck all items at a custom time interval.

All downloaded items can be viewed in a new window, along with details such as page link, last update and view date, file extension and size. In addition to that, it is possible to view them online or locally, mark them as (un)read and add them to Favorites.

Last but not least, you should know you can back up your settings to custom location on the hard disk as well as restore them at a later date, so as to prevent sudden data loss.

To conclude, Website DORM is a handy piece of software for those interested in downloading items from multiple websites, such as pictures, HTML and XML files, archives, videos and other items. Surprisingly enough, the amount of resources necessary is quite small and the response time is good. The interface is accessible to all users and our tests did not reveal any issues such as errors, freezes or bugs.
