question about downloading multiple pages

[nine_inch_rear]

Not sure the title make sense, but heres what iam wondering.. I pay to acess a website for my business. They give you an open time period to view all the info. The information is divided up into links to navigate within the main site. Is there a way or program i can use to download all the information i need to a folder rather than clicking on each link? Think of it as a book, and instead of clicking each link to read a chapter, i would like to download the "book" to a folder so i can acess it without being on the net. Possible?

You can try File, Save Page As. this will save all the pages and allow you to browse the site from your drive.

But if all the links go to other servers, this might not work. I'll hunt around for ya'.

Since they are charging for a service you might want to think twice before implementing software. They may have sniffing or monitoring software setup to deter against abuse of membership and you might even find yourself in breech of contract.

I would probably do like Sane Man suggests. Internet Explorer has a feature that downloads multiple pages and sorts them onto tabs. When I research something I use the shortcut menu with the mouse’s right click. There is an option to open in new tab. Clicking the new tab option keeps the focus on the current page, your browsing is not interrupted by using the link and the hyperlink page loads in the back ground.

As you right click on a hyperlink you can choose the new tab or new window. For links that are similar in content you could choose the new tab option. If the link is a different topic you could choose the new window. Once you have downloaded what you need you could possibly save the pages onto your computer. There may be some content missing depending on how the page is constructed by doing this though. Again, since they are offering a service, there is a good chance saving the pages will not be an option. But you could certainly get many pages open before your session expired.

Yes, true.. It would take some time to dowload everything, but then again the membership is open for a year. I gladly pay for the service since does help. Just sometimes i need specific info and dont have mobile internet. I'll look into all the suggestions. Thanks again
