I cannot download page with HTML Spider

Post by Smiling Spectre » Sun Apr 14, 2013 9:02 pm

Hello, I am new here. :)

Recently (in 2012, December actually) I downloaded some "dirs" from cd.textfiles.com. With FDM, it worked mostly like a charm (except this index.html, but I can delete it manually :))

Today I accidentally deleted one of this dirs - Adventures in Heaven 2 - and tried to redownload it... Unsuccessfully! :(

It's very strange, as only major difference here is my system: I changed my old WinXP for Win8. So maybe it's system problem. But it's strange anyway.

Let me to describe it in detail.

1. I am adding link http://cd.textfiles.com/aventheaven2 to HTML-Spider, selecting depth 99, keep structure, no .htm extension, download pics and files, download from http://cd.textfiles.com/aventheaven2 only, subdirs included.

Result: I am downloading only one file aventhaven2, without extension, that is definitely index.html actually! No more downloads happens.

2. Same sets, but "add .htm" checked.

Result: everything starts to download, but all files without extensions receiving .htm. :(

3. Same like 1, but add macros "add server name/dir name".

Result: everything starts to download, but all files are in related folders! :( (So former aventhaven2/cdmenu.bat become aventhaven2/cd.textfiles.com/aventheaven2/cdmenu.bat)

Moreover, after I stopped it and removed download, I wouldn't able to start it again - same result as 1.

4. If I am trying to download http://cd.textfiles.com/aventheaven2 directly on "downloads" page, it correctly downloads index.html (not aventhaven2, as in all other cases).

What's happening? Is FDM simply unstable under Win8, or am I missing something?
