Download Complete Websites & Access Using Offline Browser

Many of us would be either relying on different blog plugins, online scripts for taking a backup of our blogs and websites. But for taking a backup of a wallpapers related website or any other type of website would be quite a hard task, and there are situations where in you just need a few files from your backup to restore and not the whole zipped restore file. Hence, using a software like Surf Offline, can be quite useful. Along with the feature of downloading a complete website you can also access the same as a offline version and not as just some html or php files which normally other software’s offer. This option is also useful when you are not connected to the internet and are still looking to read some content of any website which is downloaded offline, something like a offline feed reader like Feed Demon.

Once you install and run the application, you will be shown with a Easy Wizard which can guide you with the process of downloading entire websites or web pages. The first step would be entering the URL of the website and also define the project name which can help you in recognizing the sites you have previously downloaded.

Next URL Filters would ask you to select the part of the websites or the portions you may download, Select the option which is suitable for you, though its recommended to select the second option which allows you to download entire website ie www.yoursite.com/*.* making sure that all the pages including the homepage are selected.

The next option would ask you the levels of download, this means that if you want only the first level, then the homepage and all the top level URL’s would be downloaded like www.yoursite.com , www.yoursite.com/page but not the www.yoursite.com/category/page because that’s considered as second levels and most tag pages, sub categories are normally under multiple levels. Hence, its recommended to select the ‘All Levels’ option.

Next you will be asked whether you want to Images, Video, Audio, Archive or all of these, a good option if you want to just download wallpapers of some website. Next you need to click on the Finish button to complete the project creation process and start the job. The software will try to connect to the URL and then start the process as shown below.

Overall this is a excellent software for webmasters, while it does offer you with a 30days trail version to first try out the service which downloads upto 200 pages and the balance can be done using the paid version which costs 39.95$ onwards.
