Solving ProblemsIf you're having trouble using SiteSucker, look below for a solution. Why does the page that I downloaded look like code when I open it in Safari?Safari displays files with certain extensions (such as, php) as text files even though these files are valid HTML. Other browsers, such as Camino and Firefox, will display these files correctly. Why doesn't anything happen when I try to download a site?There could be a number of reasons why SiteSucker fails to download a site. First, check the log file for any errors. If there are no errors, turn on the Log Warnings option under the Options tab in the Download Settings dialog and try to download the site again. The warnings will probably explain why the download failed. Can I change the number of simultaneous connections?The Preferences window lets you set the number of simultaneous Internet connections for new SiteSucker windows. How do I browse a site offline?Here is the preferred way to download a site so that you can view it locally. Under the Options tab in the SiteSucker settings, set the "HTML Processing" option to Localize. With this setting, SiteSucker modifies the downloaded HTML documents by replacing every link to a file on a web server with the corresponding link to the local file. This provides the best results when browsing files offline. After SiteSucker has downloaded your site, click the "View File" button in the SiteSucker toolbar to display the downloaded site in your default Web browser (Safari, for example). If you hold down the option key while clicking the button, SiteSucker will let you choose an application with which to open the file. Why won't SiteSucker download rollover images?Rollover images are images that appear when your mouse moves over a link on a web page. SiteSucker doesn't download rollover images because they are displayed using JavaScript. SiteSucker is a relatively simple program and it totally ignores JavaScript. Why do downloads always end up on my desktop?You can choose where SiteSucker downloads files with the "Download Folder" control under the Options tab in the Download Settings dialog. By default under Mac OS 10.4.x (Tiger), the Download Folder is the desktop. SiteSucker will also end up downloading to the desktop if the Download Folder that you've chosen cannot be found or is read-only. Can I download JPEG files without downloading HTML files?Even though you may only want to download JPEG files, you still have to download the HTML files, since SiteSucker needs the hypertext links in order to find all the JPEGs. However, you can have SiteSucker delete HTML files after they are downloaded and analyzed by selecting the Delete After Analysis setting in the HTML Processing pop-up under the Options tab in the Download Settings dialog. |
