It's an web crawler for use with an offline browser - a tool for grabbing websites into your internet cache so that you can browse offline at a later date. Basically, you enter a starting URL, and hit 'Go'. The program will then download the page at that URL. It will then extract a list of 'child' links (links within that page) and download them. Sub-links from those objects will then be downloaded, and so on. Once the files have been downloaded they will have been saved in the Windows Internet Cache, and can be viewed 'Offline' later using Internet Explorer (v4 or higher) or any of the other cache browsers available. The download is fully configurable - limits can be set so that links of a certain size will or won't be downloaded, and the total download time can be set. Certain internet resource types can be excluded from the download. The maximum 'crawl depth' can be set and a limit can also be imposed on how many servers 'away' from the starting server the crawler is allowed to go.
