Review by Frederick Barton (Cybersecurity Editor)

The Internet is full of interesting and useful information, but there is never enough time to read it all. You can save it for later, but there is no telling what can happen by then. You may forget to pay your Internet bill and the connection will be cut. Whatever the reason may be, if you want to save web content for a later, offline inspection, you can use Fresh Web Suction to download it to your computer. This way, you will not overload your browser with bookmarks and you can place an entire web site anywhere on your hard drive.

The software can run smoothly on most Windows operating systems and it will not make use of too many resources. Downloading and installing it will not take too much time. The setup package is one Mb large and it features a straightforward wizard.

Due to the simplicity of the user interface, you can start downloading web content immediately. The projects you create will be displayed on a navigation pane, on the left side of the window and their contents can be viewed on the larger right side. To create a new project you need to click the New button on the toolbar. This will bring up a window where you can name the project, specify a URL, set a level limit and specify an output path. You can find additional options in this window by making use of the tree structure placed on its left side. These include filtering file types and URLs, specifying a user name and password if the web site is protected, and more. When the settings are made, you can either click the OK button, on the bottom of the window or the Run Now button, which will start the project immediately.

With the aid of navigation tabs, you can switch between three view types on the main area of the interface. The first tab contains a simple web browser with basic options, such as Back, Forward, Stop and Refresh. Under the second tab, you can see in real time the files that are being downloaded and a complete list with everything that will be downloaded can be found under the third tab.

Fresh Web Suction also features a wizard which will guide you all the way to creating a project. The settings you can make during its steps are the same as the ones you can find when clicking the New button on the main window. The difference is that you can navigate through them in a logical order and the wizard will explain the effects of the settings. The content you download will be saved as multiple HTML files and you can run them in your browser. It will be just like navigating through the web site itself, but it will be done offline.

Pros

The software can download an entire web page and you will only have to make basic settings. Its simplicity makes it accessible to any user, from novice to advanced.

Cons

The built-in web browser is too basic. There are no options like downloading the loaded web site or anything of the sorts. You can not even load multiple pages on separate tabs. If you don't have time to inspect a web site, you can simply download it to your computer. Fresh Web Suction can do this and it only requires a few clicks of the mouse.
