Is the project abandoned?

2020-09-04T13:24:38.044000Z

Thank you very much for the program distributed under a free open license! Added a program to a Russian-language site about free software, here is the link.

Please do not drop the project, this is a very interesting program!

Will the program no longer be updated and new versions will no longer appear?

Will stable versions be published here or elsewhere?

exclude by URL pattern

2006-05-08T22:03:14Z

Hi... GetLeft looks good. The only limitation that makes it hard for my requirements is that you can only exclude URLs based on extension \(\*.jpg etc.\). I'm trying to test a web application that's implemented using a dynamic programming framework, so the nature of the page is reflected not in the extension but in the general pattern of the URL. So I would like to be able to exclude e.g. all URLs of the pattern "http://mamre/mount/foo/\*/store" because those are the ones that regenerate a lot of data and take a long time. So that would be my request -- allow the user to exclude URLs to download by having them match a URL pattern.

Right click on item to download and it add to download

2006-02-24T21:40:38Z

Like some of the other popular programs,like flashget or reget, you can right click on the link that you want to download and it adds it to the list of files you want to download. So that you do not have to add url it does it for you. You then can select which files you want to download. :\)

Get Particular Files

It would be a great feature, if we could specify a list of files \(extensions\) to download. Say , sets "\*.swf, \*.mov" to download, Getleft does it stuff to parse the HTML for '=\*.swf' and '\*.mov' \(in OBJECT/EMBEDs\) to get that data.

delays between page requests

2004-08-02T11:55:08Z

some sites doesn't allow intensive traffic. They ask to make 30 pasuses between page requests. I think it would very easy to hack this feature. just I am confused where to get sources, as I am amateur and have never used CVS.

Another wishlist...

Great application could be possible to minimize getleft to tray ? getleft catching ie "save as" and "copy link" ? Thanks Andres

button for IE bar

2003-08-28T13:04:20Z

It would be nice\*, quick and effecient to have a small Getleft launcher button added to the IE toolbar. Once a user clicks the Getleft button the application is fired up and prompts the user with the options to download, etc... My reason is becuase I would probably use Getleft to save pages, but I always use the "Save As" option in IE instead as I am too lazy to start-up Getleft.

file size filter

2003-08-23T13:19:19Z

Filtering out small file sizes or selecting specific file sizes to be downloaded. If image is less than 20KB \(exclude\) If image is more than 20KB \(include\)
