I installed this software because it seemed quite good and had some good
reviews.

However I can't get it to work at all. If I enter a domain and click the
"Download/Extract" button I get a small "no" by the allegedly downloaded
domain in the "Extracted Links" window.

Before I give up, can someone shed any light on what I might be doing wrong?
I've gone through the help pages and have tried all sorts of combinations
etc but haven't got any further.

Is there a better group to ask this question in?

Which software are you talking about, downloaded from where,
and reviewed where? What "domain" are you trying to download
files from?

is a time-limited and maximum-number-of-files-per-session-limited
shareware demo.



It sounds like maybe that's what you installed
and your time is up. (And if you are talking about
a shareware program, it is off-topic in this
newsgroup. Maybe try alt.comp.shareware ?
Or better yet, ask the company the program
comes from.)


Or maybe the "domain" you are trying to download
is the newer kind of "dynamic" site instead of a
static site, meaning that the webpages are
assembled on-the-fly from a database, so there
aren't any "files" lying around to download.


These are just educated guesses

Just installed it. If it was out of time wouldn;t it have told me?
I'll try there and many thanks.

I've tried my own site and others so I don't think that is the case.
