1.1 What is WebLeacher?
-----------------------
The WebLeacher is a highly multi threaded application, designed to
minimize the time spent searching and downloading pictures and other
binaries from the web. It works by recursivly scanning pages for links,
then following the links. If the link is a binary file, it will download
it. It's possible to specify wich filetypes to download, and which files
to keep based on size and/or dimensions (JPEG only). 

  - Allows for 1 to 50 simultaneous downloads. 
  - Filter on JPEG picture dimensions. 
  - Filter on file size. 
  - User configurable list of blocked sites. 
  - User configurable list of file types to be downloaded. 
  - Works with standard WWW proxies. 
  - Works with password URLs. 
  - Easy to install/uninstall using standard windows install


1.2 How do I use it?
--------------------

-- The File menu
First you start the WebLeacher program by selecting it in the Start menu.
When started, you select "Connect..." from the "File" menu, this will bring
up a connection dialog. The connection dialog contains the following fields:

- Leachers
The number of simultaneous connections the WebLeacher
will start.

- Down load dir
The directory where the down loaded files will be stored.

- Save style
This describes how the downloaded files will be stored on your
hard disk. The following options are available

    <dldir>\<file>
    <dldir>\<path>\<file>
    <dldir>\<site>\<file>
    <dldir>\<site>\<fullpath>\<file>

The above save styles will give the following result using "C:\Pics" as 
download directory and "http://www.sluts.com/teen/cute/ann1.jpg" as the 
downloaded file.

     C:\Pics\ann1.jpg
     C:\Pics\teen\cute\ann1.jpg
     C:\Pics\www.sluts.com\ann1.jpg
     C:\Pics\www.sluts.com\teen\cute\ann1.jpg

- Minimum size(kb)
Files smaller than this will be delete.

- Start page
I think this goes without saying...

- Startpage is linkpage
If "Startpage is linkpage" is selected, any links pointing to the same
host as the "Start page" is not followed. This is useful if you are
leaching fx. "http://www.ampland.com/teen.html" and don't want
"http://www.ampland.com/mature.html".

- Level is site
There are two ways to describe how "deep" the leacher should dig, either
how many links it should follow, and how many sites. If "Level is site" is
selected, each level is a site instead of a link.

- Levels
How many links/sites should the WebLeacher dig through.

- Dimension Scan
The WebLeacher is able to scan the header of JPEG(.jpg) files for the size
of the image. If "Dimension Scan" is selected, the WebLeacher will not
download JPEG pictures smaller than described in "Minimum x size" and
"Minimum y size".

- Use Proxy
This selects if the WebLeacher should use a WWW proxy when downloading.

- Proxy Server
If "Use Proxy" is selected, the WebLeacher will use this host as a WWW
proxy.

- Proxy Port
This is the port on which the WebLeacher will try to contact the WWW proxy.
Normally this is 3128.

When all of the above fields have been filled out, you can push "Start" to
start leaching. If you for some reason wants to stop the leacher, just
select "Disconnect" in the file menu.

-- The Configure menu
The configure menu contains two items, "No goes" and "Download files".
Selecting "No goes" will let you configure the list of sites which you are
not interested in. "Download files" is the list of file types you are
interested in downloading.

-- The help menu
Not much to say here, I hope that I'll get time to write some online help.
When entering the registration information, you must be carefull to write
your first name and city exactly as statet on the registration papers.
