I'm currently trying to download a subforum, and only a subforum, but I'm having some troubles.
the subforum is: http://torrents.ru/forum/viewforum.php?f=1929
I want to get all threads on that subforum (all the threads in the 3 pages), and everything contained there. But I don't care about other subforums.
I couldn't limit to that subforum, so I created 3 projects. Each project starts on one of the pages of the subforum, and it's limited to 1 level.
I guess there can be any other better way, but this is not the main problem.
The main problem is that I can't get to see any of the images hosted on external pages (ipictures, etc). They are downloaded (I can see them in my c:/download), but they don't show up.
Also, Offline Explorer doesn't seem able to download the "spoilers" correctly. For example: http://torrents.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1625170
There's an spoiler with more images; the images are downloaded to c:/download, but the "spoiler" thing doesn't open
viewtopic
to the URL Filters - Filename - Included list to allow loading only within the topic.
Best regards,

what does mean that "I fixed the spoilers problem"?
does it mean that there's a program update that fixes it?

it works perfectly now.
by the way, I realized that I could download all three pages in one project. I just had to add a filename limit: viewforum.php?f=1929
thanks a lot

&page=1*
Oleg.
Yes it looks surprising that it should work, but it does!
I made a test because of this statement in the Help file:
Advanced features | Fine-tuning downloads using Project URL filters
"You can also use URL Macros in the URL Filters keywords. For example:
filename{:0day}.htm"
I thought &page={:1..1000}$ could be a short substitute of something like this in the included files keywords:
&page=[0-9]$
&page=[0-9][0-9]$
&page=[0-9][0-9][0-9]$
The project works fine, even if you try &page={:1..4}$ the project would download only the first 4 pages of the thread.
BTW:
Your suggestion &page=1* would'nt download page 2, 3, 4, ... of the thread, shurely the "1" was just a typo. ;)
And you are correct about using {:1..1000} macros - I forgot that I implemented it. However it is not recommended to use, because it takes much more time to process actually 1000 keywords than one single, like &page=[0-9]*
