instructions on using this product please reference the online help information
by selecting the HELP > CONTENTS menu.

Leech is an offline web browser utility for Windows 95/98/NT that downloads web
site content to your hard drive. It is a multi-threaded application which allows
you to simultaneously "leech" multiple files from a server. These files are
stored on your hard drive and can be viewed later without having to access the
Internet.  Files can be filtered by file extension or file size.

Leech is installed as an evaluation version.  This version is fully functional
and will expire 30 days from the date it was installed.  To continue using
Leech beyond the evaluation period, you must register the product by either
selecting the HELP > REGISTER menu or by visiting the Aeria web site at:
