Offline Browser Supports Widest Range of Internet Protocols

MetaProducts Corporation has released Offline Explorer Pro v. 5.0, a powerful Windows application that makes it easy to download partial or entire web sites, and work with them offline. Unlike simple HTML copy programs, Offline Explorer Pro can accurately process HTML, XML, CSS, PHP, ASP/X, Javascript, PDF, and Flash sites. It also supports streaming protocols RTSP://, PNM://, MMS:// and MMST://, making it simple to record streaming audio, download streaming video, and record webcasts. The company releases updated versions of Offline Explorer Pro each month, ensuring that you can continue to download web sites built with current and emerging Internet technologies.

New features in v. 5.0 include instant indexed search capabilities for all downloaded web pages; an Office 2007-style Ribbon interface that makes it easier and faster to locate the program's functions; a Quick Access toolbar for the most important commands; an advanced search engine that can search thousands of downloaded files in just a few seconds; and powerful new features that make your exported files more versatile and usable. The more comprehensive version, Offline Explorer Enterprise, is also highly optimized for multi-threaded parsing and downloading that take advantage of all of your CPU's processors.

It has never been quicker to download a complex web site from the Internet. Offline Explorer Pro can use up to 500 connections simultaneously, saving you download time. Once downloaded, all sites can be viewed locally, with no Internet connection required. You can use your favorite Internet browser, or the program's built-in browser.

Offline Explorer Pro is simple to use. Create a project, identify the starting URL, and tell the program how many levels you want to download. You can suspend and restart downloads, start downloads from the command line, or schedule downloads for unattended processing. Advanced users can fine-tune the capture and download settings, and grab exactly the parts of each web site that they wish to work with offline.

Whether you're a sales manager who wants to keep track of competitors' web sites, a researcher who needs to capture streaming audio and video files from the Internet, or an entrepreneur who needs to capture web information and turn it into CD-based presentations, Offline Explorer Pro has the tools that you need.

Offline Explorer Pro v. 5.0 runs under Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista, and costs $89.95(US) for a single user license. A lighter version of the application, Offline Explorer Standard, is available for $49.95. The Enterprise edition, with support for OLE automation, costs $499.95. Volume discounts are available. Each software purchase includes monthly updates throughout the life cycle of version 5.x. You can download trial versions of Offline Explorer from http://www.metaproducts.com/. Offline Explorer Pro is included in several of MetaProducts' discounted software bundles.

Offline Explorer Pro v. 3 Gets the Net!

Columbus, Ohio - February 4, 2004 - MetaProducts Corporation has released Offline Explorer Pro v. 3, a Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP application that lets you download Internet directories, files, video and audio streams, and entire web sites, and work with them offline. It`s easy to archive web sites, monitor site changes, and increase download speeds.

Offline Explorer Pro lets you download valuable information from up to 500 HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, RTSP, and MMS sites simultaneously, at speeds that are significantly faster than those of ordinary web browsers. Once downloaded, it`s easy to view, edit, or browse sites without being connected to the Internet.

Offline Explorer Pro serves as a high-speed local storage facility for all kinds of Internet information. Simply drag a web link to Offline Explorer Pro, and the application will download everything from that site, including multimedia Flash files. The parsing engine can filter downloaded web pages by keywords.

New features in v. 3 include enhanced support for streaming downloads, the ability to evaluate and download complex Javascripted sites, an internal, tabbed HTML editor with syntax highlighting for HTML, CSS and Javascript, the ability to compress and download sites in HTML Help FIle (.CHM) format, and a set of in-depth tutorials and links that flatten the learning curve for first-time users.

Creating a new project for downloading is as easy as identifying the starting URL, specifying the number of levels into the web site that you wish to capture, and deciding upon the file types that you want to include in the project. Using keywords, Offline Explorer Pro allows you to selectively include or exclude individual servers, directories, and files. Offline Explorer Pro will begin to download all of the pages and files that you`ve named, with up to 500 files being captured simultaneously.

It is easy to suspend and restart downloads, start downloads from a command line, and even schedule downloads for unattended processing. Offline Explorer Pro`s speed control lets you limit the bandwidth that the program will use, so it won`t interfere with other applications that are using the Internet. With its powerful sequencer, the program can download files one-by-one in any predefined sequence.

Once a project has been downloaded, you can use your default Internet browser, or Offline Explorer Pro`s internal browser, to view the results. All of the downloaded web pages and files will have been renamed to relative names, allowing you to move the information easily to another hard drive, CDROM, or removable disk, and making the web site completely portable. The program lets you create an easy-to-browse MHT file. You can even print an entire downloaded site, or search for keywords across the entire collection of downloaded web sites.

Offline Explorer Pro supports MMS and RTSP stream downloads, allowing you to find video and audio streams and record them on your hard drive for later viewing using MS Media Player or Real Player. The program can parse and process NSC files from Microsoft`s NetShow channel, as well as RealPlayer`s SMIL files. Offline Explorer Pro fully supports RealPlayer authentication to load password-protected streams.

Casual users will appreciate how easy it is to import bookmarks and favorites lists from popular browsers, or to drag and drop links from them. Power users will appreciate being able to specify file types and web levels, and to duplicate existing project templates when creating new projects.

Offline Explorer Pro provides support for JavaScript, Java Classes, Cascading Style Sheets, Macromedia Flash, and Table of Contents files. The program parses Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files, including links to other PDF files. Also included are nested folders in the projects tree, a separate download directory for project folders, multiple URLs for each project, the ability to keep old copies of loaded files, a downloading queue tab, and HTTPS protocol support for downloading from secured web sites.

Offline Explorer Pro includes a handy Project Wizard that simplifies the entire process, and support for MPEG3 Play List files (.M3U). There is enhanced support for HTML, Java scripts and applets, XML/XSL, and Flash applets. There`s even a Site Map context menu for easier navigation of the downloaded web sites.

Offline Explorer Pro v. 3 costs $70(US) and can be purchased securely online at http://www.metaproducts.com. A lighter version of the program, Offline Explorer v. 3 Standard, costs $30(US). You can download a free trial version of Offline Explorer Pro from http://www.metaproducts.com/download/opsetup.exe.
