I`m trying to download a particular section on a forum
Forum (IPB) has 4 section
Link of the four sections is
http://www.entityparadigm.com/forums/index.php?showforum=2
http://www.entityparadigm.com/forums/index.php?showforum=1
http://www.entityparadigm.com/forums/index.php?showforum=4
http://www.entityparadigm.com/forums/index.php?showforum=3

I only want to get showforum=3 I put showforum=4 and the rest in the filename exclude list, but it isn`t working
plus i also DON`t wnat to get the user profile page which has "showuser=" in the filename. but nothing the project just gets one file and completes. when i tell it to get all the files it works fine.

Any suggestion on how to correctly use the exclude filename filter

I would suggest you to put:

showforum=3
showtopic

to the Included list. It is easier. Only URLs with these keywords will be loaded. The rest - skipped.

Simply add:

view=getlastpost

to the Excluded filename keywords list.

Hi,
I am downloading from http://www.themarker.co.il all the pages 2 level depth.
I want to exclude index pages from the project, but I need to download the links from
those pages , without downloading the index pages.
I have identiffied a unique tag (article bold>) in those index pages and tried to filter it
with the content filter, it didn`t work.
What do you think?

Regards David

Yes, it will not work, because the Contents Filter looks inside the page text, not inside tags. This code removes all tags from a page and searches only in the visible page texts.
