File Types

The File Types tab in the Download Settings dialog provides the following settings:

Filter

Use settings under this tab to specify which file types SiteSucker is allowed to download. (SiteSucker uses Media Type to identify different file types, since this is standard information included in the Internet headers.) The following options are available:

  • Allow All File Types - Download all files regardless of file type
  • Allow Specified File Types - Only download the specified file types
  • Disallow Specified File Types - Never download the specified file types

Note: SiteSucker always downloads HTML and CSS files regardless of this setting.

If the Allow Specified File Types or Disallow Specified File Types setting is selected, you can choose from the following options (shown with representative Media Types):

  • Archives - application/zip, application/tar, application/stuffit, ...
  • Audio - audio/aiff, audio/mp3, audio/wav, audio/au, ...
  • Images - image/jpeg, image/gif, image/tiff, image/png, ...
  • Video - video/avi, video/mpg, video/x-ms-asf, ...
  • Custom Types - as specified under the Custom Types tab
