I`m really sorry if the answer is easily found. I`ve looked, but I`ve been up a bit late.
I`ve started my evaluation of Offline Explorer Pro, but I can`t figure out how to make the local files in OE Pro`s downloads folder have the same date as the files from a web site. It`s always irked me how the date is set to the download date with most Internet software. I can understand localized web page files having new dates, but I would at least like images and other files OE Pro doesn`t modify to have their local dates set to the date on the server they`re downloaded from. I frequently use GetRight, and it has such an option, so I downloaded an evaluation of MetaProducts` Mass Downloader to see if it has the same feature. Sure enough, it does! Is there a setting somewhere in Offline Explorer Pro to use this same option? I plan on eventually getting the offer that includes both Offline Explorer Pro and Mass Downloader, since it`s less than a $10 difference, but I would still like to know if it`s possible to do this in OE Pro independently of Mass Downloader. If there is no option, is there a way to do it with Mass Downloader`s integration?
In short: I don`t want the file date/time in the downloads folder to be the date/time OE Pro downloaded the file; I want it to be the date from the server from which the file was downloaded.
Again, sorry if I missed something simple or another thread. I found the option in less than thirty seconds in Mass Downloader, so I`m afraid I may have passed something simple up in Offline Explorer Pro.

Well, there is no such feature in Offline Explorer, because the file modification date is being used in some of its features. However there is a small program that assign server file modification dates to file dates. You can download it here:
