    Website ripper

    What's the best crawler-like software that could download what I tell it to from a website?

    I don't know if it works on windows, or using safari on a windows, but on my mac using safari i can download any file placed on a website (such as flashfiles, vids or pics).

    But not 100% sure about what you're asking for.

    Those aren't particularly uncommon delivery speeds for most websites, MMO champion does 15-40 kb/s for me normally.

    Not sure what you're wanting to download, but for vids outside of youtube I use the Firefox addon Download Helper.

    When the 3 balls are doing their animation click the drop down menu and click download

    I'm a WoW player and I use Linux. But I'd +1 WebHTTrack, used that a lot in Windows.
