Saving downloaded links

Is there a way to indentify from the logs when a downloaded files is actually saved to disk. I understand that files can be downloaded for parsing, or can be downloaded and saved. I see a file downloded in the log but it doesn''t get saved to disk, while other files do.

What determins when a file is downloaded, parsed and discarded or downloaded, parsed and saved?

I''ve been using OE pro for a while and am happy but the concept of "downloaded" has always confused me. For example if I test a URL against URL Filters and the test says "This URL will be downloaded", does this mean downloaded and saved to disk or just downloaded for parsing.


Also how does the new "Ignore Logout Links" work. What sort of links does it look for.

Thanks

Actually all downloaded files will be saved. There are only three exceptions:

1. Disk is overloaded.
2. You uncheck File Filters - Text category. This means that Web pages will be loaded to get links to follow, but they are not saved. This is useful when you want to download only images.
3. When Contents Filters directly do not allow to save web pages that have or do not have the keywords you enter there.

If none of the above apply, can you give me some hints how I can reproduce this myself? Thank you!

Oleg,

This is an internal intranet site so you won''t be able to access it. Enclosed is a log extract of the file being downloaded. This is a BIG site with lots of small files so I tried with OE Enterprise also. I have a URL substitute which does:

http://intranet.internal/sequence.php?lot=* ---> http://intranet.internal/php/*/sequence.php.htm


The sequence.php.htm file never gets saved to local disk.

This is case (3) - Contents Filters. You have "customer support" there and you do not allow to save pages that contain the keywords and do not contain them.

Oleg,

I''ve checked the html produced by the page sequence.php. It does not contain the words "customer support".

Yes, but in the Properties - Contents Filters section you setup Offline Explorer to stop saving all files - no matter if they contain keywords or not. Please review this setting.
