Status Indicators

SiteSucker shows the status of the download in the lower section of the SiteSucker window. SiteSucker includes the following status indicators:

Level

This is an indication of how many levels deep the download has progressed. Levels refer to the number of link levels completed relative to the initial link. The URL link that you enter into the SiteSucker window is on level 1. If that page had 10 Web page references (URLs) on it, those 10 links would be on level 2. If each of those 10 Web pages contained 15 links, then those 150 links would be on level 3, and so on. This indicator shows which level SiteSucker is currently working on.

Files Downloaded

This is an indication of how many files have been downloaded.

Files Remaining

This is an indication of how many links are remaining in the download. Each page that is downloaded is scanned for more HTML links. Any new links that are found are added to the counter. Note that the counter can decrease and then increase again after each new page is scanned. In addition, some links may be skipped because the page has already been downloaded or shouldn't be downloaded according to the download settings. Unfortunately, this means that it is very difficult to tell when the download will be complete. This indicator merely provides a rough estimate of progress.

Errors

This is an indication of how many errors have occurred during the download. If the Log Errors option is turned on, SiteSucker will write the errors to a log file, which is normally stored in the Download Folder.

Status

During downloads, status messages are displayed at the bottom of the SiteSucker window. Here, SiteSucker lets you know which files are being downloaded and which files are being analyzed for links. SiteSucker can process up to ten files simultaneously. The number of simultaneous connections for new documents is specified in the preferences. Long status messages are truncated in the status area, but you can resize the window to see the entire message.

Skip Buttons

You can click a Skip button in the status area of the SiteSucker window to skip an individual file during a download.
