Product Description:

SiteSucker is a Macintosh application that automatically downloads web sites from the Internet. It does this by copying the site's HTML documents, images, backgrounds, movies, and other files to your local hard drive. Just enter a URL and click a button and SiteSucker can download an entire web site.

What's new in this version:

  • SiteSucker now requires Mac OS X 10.5.x Leopard or greater.
  • Added a Reset Status command to the Edit menu.
  • The Open File command now properly handles symbolic links.
  • Made Localize the factory default setting for HTML Processing.
  • Added scanning of all table tags for background URLs and links in style attributes.
  • Added RetryErrors.plist to the Application Support folder so that users can specify the errors that trigger a retry.
  • SiteSucker now lets users edit the trust settings of certificates in the Keychain that are invalid or cannot be verified.
  • SiteSucker now replaces existing HTML and CSS files regardless of the Replace Files setting if HTML Processing is set to Localize and the files have not been localized.
  • No longer replace query strings with CRCs when localizing links to JavaScript files.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause SiteSucker to freeze during analysis.
  • Fixed a problem reading Safari bookmarks.
  • Fixed several potential memory leaks.

SiteSucker ReviewGreat piece of software - Version: 2.3, 10/3/2009 04:15PM PST

I have used it for years. It works great.

I appreciate the "Localize http" default fix. I was confused by this problem more than once.

Thanks.

SiteSucker ReviewUpdate to my previous post - Version: 2.2.4, 8/20/2009 09:14PM PST

After emailing the developer three days ago, they replied today with with a document containing the settings that were successful for them to download the site I was trying to get. He explained that my search settings could be saved in a similar document so I wouldn't have to reset them every time.
He says that "It looks like the crash that you saw was caused by an invalid URL on another site" and "This problem will be fixed in the next version of SiteSucker."

In the meantime I had kept trying different settings and finally managed to download the site I wanted by limiting the search to the site's server only.

Nice to see that the developer responds to problems and tries to help!

SiteSucker ReviewCrash, Crash, Crash! - Version: 2.2.4, 8/17/2009 03:15PM PST

Almost every time I've tried to run v2.2.4, it crashes repeatedly, shortly after it begins downloading.

Yesterday it took about 10 tries before it finally downloaded a site. Today I needed to download some additional images that I'd excluded the first time, and I've tried to run it at least 20 times now, and it's crashed every time! I've tried many different settings to no avail. And something that's REALLY annoying is that after every crash I must change all the settings again, AARGH!!

This app should be called Crash Dummy, because like a crash dummy it crashes every time it's used.

The one time it did run, it downloaded the entire site (minus my exclusions), which is something I couldn't get Web Dumper to do.

And this is actually DONATIONware! "Pay any amount of money SiteSucker is worth to you or use it for free." HAH! I think the developer should pay ME for the countless hours and frustration spent trying to use this sucker!


I just emailed the log and crash report to the developer.
