The Options tab in the Download Settings dialog provides the following settings: Delete Small ImagesCheck this box to have SiteSucker delete small images after they are downloaded. SiteSucker will delete any image if its width is less than half the width of the main screen and its height is less than half the height of the main screen. You can use this feature to delete thumbnails and other small images. Suppress Login DialogWhenever SiteSucker encounters a page that requires authentication, it first looks for the appropriate credentials in the Keychain. If nothing is found in the Keychain, it displays the Login Dialog. Check this box to suppress display of the Login Dialog and skip the download of any pages that require authentication. For more information on authentication, see Password-protected Sites. Ignore Robot ExclusionsCheck this box to have SiteSucker ignore robots.txt exclusions and the Robots META tag. Warning: Ignoring robot exclusions is not recommended. Robot exclusions are usually put in place for a good reason and should be obeyed. By default, SiteSucker honors robots.txt exclusions and the Robots META tag. The robots.txt file allows the Web site administrator to define what parts of a site are off-limits to specific robots, like SiteSucker. Web administrators can disallow access to cgi and private and temporary directories, for example, because they do not want pages in those areas downloaded. In addition to server-wide robot control using robots.txt, Web page creators can also use the Robots META tag to specify that the links on a page should not be followed by robots. Drag Triggers DownloadCheck this box to have SiteSucker automatically start the download after you drag a URL into the Web URL text field.

Note: The Replace Files setting does not affect HTML files, which are always downloaded. HTML ProcessingUse this control to specify how SiteSucker should process HTML files after they are downloaded. You can choose from the following options:
