Description: The Web is a land of joys and wonders. Myriads of digital images, video clips and other downloadable files are waiting for you. In the past, you could use your browser to download them. But, these days, you need more powerful and more specialized tools to download files from the Web.
You may want to give NeoDownloader from Neowise Software a try. How is it different from a Web browser? With a Web browser, you need to search and download each file individually. It's not an easy task when you need to download, for example, a collection of several hundred desktop wallpapers. Neodownloader can do this work for you completely automatically. All you have to do is to navigate to a site containing wallpapers (or whatever you wish to download) and drag an icon from the browser's address bar to the floating NeoDownloader basket. NeoDownloader will ask you what you wish it to download from this site. There are many predefined choices, such as "Images and video" available for you to choose from. You can also define custom file masks. NeoDownloader starts searching the site and downloads files to your PC. A built-in media player allows you to view files immediately as they appear on your hard drive.
OK. But what if you need to download only specific files? For example, a gallery of wallpapers may contain images in a range of different resolutions. You don't want to download all the images. You want only a specific resolution that is good for your desktop. This is not a problem. NeoDownloader allows you to specify which resolution you need. And this is only an example. The program includes strong content-filtering abilities too. You can specify maximum and minimum size of files to download. You can filter specific URLs. For example, you may not want NeoDownloader to search pages containing "thumbnails" or "banners" in their addresses.
