Website Downloader

Have website download include videos and images
The general solution for downloading all images and videos with website download tools such as A1 Website Download is to make sure you include all image and video file extensions to the output list.

Common image file extensions:

• .bmp
• .jpg
• .gif
• .png

Video related file extensions:

• .swf
• .wmf
• .mov
• .avi

Video formats which dynamicly redirects and streams data can still be a little problematic. However, adding above file extensions will work with most websites, and make it possible to download complete video and image galleries.

If you only want to download images and videos
This is done by controlling the file extensions listed in download list. If you only include videos and images, that is all you will have downloaded at the end of the website scan.

At this point, you just need to set website root path and start downloading

Downloading Websites
Have you ever wanted to download websites? Perhaps save them to USB sticks and take them with you to clients or view them while traveling? This website download tutorial will show how to download entire websites in a snap. Future tutorials will go in-depth with specific tasks such as only downloading images and videos from websites. We will use the program A1 Website Download, and as the default configuration works well with almost all websites, we can get started right-away.

Downloading websites
It does not matter if the website you are downloading is database-driven, uses a server side language such as PHP or has query parameters in URLs. The only option you need to configure when downloading is the “Website directory root path“. If you want to download and view multiple websites, you will also need to configure “Save files crawled to disk directory path“. After configuration, you are ready to “Start scan” and download websites.

After website download
The A1 Website Download tool will automatically show you the website content downloaded when it has finished scanning. At this point you can store the downloaded website somewhere else, e.g. on an USB disk or similar, and take the complete website with you. It is now possible to offline browse the web site with your preferred internet browser.
