Webcrawler such as teleport pro or superbot for linux?
Does anyone know about a Web Crawler for Linux such as the counterparts for windows (Webwhacker, websnake, teleport pro, black widow and superbot)
I need one, tried these in wine and they crash alot.
Not sure what a webcrawler is?
They're a program that can do something like
# Download all or part of a website to your computer, enabling you to browse the site directly from your hard disk at much greater speeds than if you were to browse the site online
# Create an exact duplicate, or mirror of a website, complete with subdirectory structure and all required files
# Search a website for files of a certain type and size
# Download a list of files at known addresses
# Explore every website linked from a central website
# Search a website for keywords
# Make a list of all pages and files on a website
thanks alot for any replys

Well, it isn't explicitly made for it, but wget has some crawler functionality. To download an entire site, try "wget -rp http://www.site.tld/". It has more options, though. Check "wget --help".

Sorry, but I don't know about that. If noone else is able to provide an answer to it here, try subscribing to wget's mailing list.

Is it an open site you are trying to use wget against?? wget is following links and syncing webbsites to a local structure. So if the mp3:s doesnt have specific links to them wget will not find them. Or if they are protected behind some kind of memberlogin-mechanism.
