No matter what site I put in it tells me it is an invalid address even though Safari has no problems. I am not behind a proxy either so there is no reason why it should not work.
A complete waste of time.

W/ or w/o www. - JUrsaMaj
This is not an error: example.com and www.example.com *are* 2 different URLs. Generally, the site will automatically refer the 1st URL to the other, but not always. For a program to assume you meant the www. *would* be an error.Wednesday, May 20 2009 @ 03:29 PM PDT
"browser not supported" - JUrsaMaj
Again, not an error. This page is returned by the site. Site downloaders often have a setting for what browser they pretend to be. If they identify themselves honestly, many site will give you exactly this page, because they don't *want* you sucking there site!Wednesday, May 20 2009 @ 03:35 PM PDT

Same problem here. I've used Web Dumper in the past, and I seem to remember it working. But this version is very buggy indeed.Yes, if you notice on the left side of the URL field, the "http://" is already there -- so, if you copy and paste a URL you get "http://http://...".
Easy enough, one would think -- just select that part of your URL and delete it, right? -- Wrong. Inexplicably, this doesn't seem to work (still says "address invalid") . But when I pasted the URL into TextEdit, deleted the "http" part, then copied and pasted into Web Dumper, it worked.
Very strange.

I can't believe the previus poster did not get this to work. Web Dumper puts in http:// automatically for you. It gets confused when you put it in as well. How arrogant to slag this great application off like that.Thursday, October 04 2007 @ 05:19 PM PDT

I had the same but I solved it by manually taking out the "https://" part of the URL I copied from the browser.Quite clumsily it cannot process a URL copied from a browser. Also, with or without www leads to different results.
Other errors occur too: For several sites I only download the "browser not supported" page, or the Web Dumber goes in a loop of unfinished attempts to download.
