So far, I have been able to stop it from renaming *.asp files.

My current problem is getting it to stop corrupting the links to
those files.

How do you force it to use the original link properties for copied
links? It sticks the current folder name to the beginning of links on
that page.

For example... from this page...
http://vocola.net/v2/default.asp
....it adds "v2" to all of the links.

Is there a way to make it replace the domain name
"http://vocola.net/" with the local folder name, leaving all other
link properties text the same?

Thanks.

I have no idea what you're talking about or how this
relates to webcopier!

Yeah, I heard you the first time. But seriously... simply replacing
the domain with the local folder path in links is not rocket science.

I used to use Teleport Ultra to download websites and it would change
the links to correspond with the local folders. Although I found it
difficult to use at times it did work once it was setup properly.

Though I haven't used the program Peter recommended, I would almost bet
that somewhere in the setup is a way to make it change the links to
the local folders, after all the one of the main points of downloading
the website is to be able to browse it locally.
