Downloading community-based websites such as Yahoo! Groups with
SuperBot can be a little tricky, but it is possible. Here are a few
tips:
1) If the site requires you to sign in, do so using Internet
Explorer, and leave IE open while you use SuperBot. (SuperBot will
use IE's cookies to gain access to members-only sections.)
2) Sign in with a normal user account. If you have an administrator
account for the site or group, do NOT use it for this purpose.
(SuperBot would follow links such as "Delete this message" or "Remove
this user" unless instructed otherwise.) If a "Remember me" option is
given at sign-in, turn it on.
3) Enable these features in SuperBot's Additional Options window:
- Allow cookies
- Save query results
- Add .htm extension to web page filenames
- Pause between downloads (2 seconds or longer is recommended)
4) If the group or site contains a "sign out" link, make sure you set
SuperBot's filters to avoid it. Otherwise, you could lose access
halfway through the download job!
5) If you encounter difficulties downloading the entire site at once,
try downloading it in sections. Using Yahoo Groups as an example,
you could first download the "Messages" section specifically, then
the "Photos" section, etc.
6) If automated downloading seems impossible, you can usually use
SuperBot's Quick Copy Hotkey instead:
A) Enable the Job Queue.
B) Browse to a page you want to copy.
C) Press F6, and SuperBot will copy it.
D) Return to step B until finished.
