FEATURES
ScanDL in the latest version 1.23 gives you the following advantages which relieves you from downloading many files from the Internet:
- Automatical search for links in HTML files - you no longer need to click on each link to construct a download list for a download manager.
- You can limit the search, e.g. to http links or to links of specified file endings.
- Mirrors are not saved as several links but as mirrors (as long as you have not set it differently).
- Complete support of ACE, ARJ, RAR and ZIP types as well as dynamic URLs (ASP, CGI, PHP, ...).
- Extensive opportunities to edit the found links: deletion of several links or all files of the same file type, automatical renaming of file endings (e.g. ".class" to ".mp3") and several characters (e.g. "_" to " ") of the files which will be downloaded - that saves you waste routine operations after downloading.
- Reading, editing and saving file lists as well as archiving those lists in HTML files.
- Clipboard management.
- Optional logging of links to exclude them later.
- Search for dead links and remove them optionally.
- Create URL batches.
- And much more!
