Example 2 - Wired Magazine.


Posted: 27 August 2001 by Spidersoft Team, Melbourne, Australia

Aim:

Capture the August 2001 issue of the Wired Magazine.

Content organization:

Each monthly issue is organized within its own sub-directory.

eg.
  • http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.07/
  • http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.08/

    Method:

    Since each issue is contained within its own sub-directory, we set the page location filter to "Within current directory"

    Each magazine article also contains pages for printer format. We can prevent WebZIP from downloading these redundant pages by using a URL filter. If you hover over each "print" link you'll find that each URL contain "_pr" as a common term.
    So we add this to our URL Exclude Filters.

    [PL]_pr

    This simply means 'exclude all page links containing "_pr" in their URL'.
