Does anyone know of a freeware or shareware that I can put on my PDA
(running windows mobile) that I can program or set to go to specific
web pages and links, and then download the pages, or the graphics etc?

What I need to do is to preiodically go to certain web pages, and
either save out the web page, and to go to some links and download the
linked doc or graphics. I am looking for something that I can set up so

it will automatically download and save out the pages and graphics to a

pre-defined folder. This can be whenever I activate the app, or the app

can be set so it goes and get the files periodically.


Does anyone know of something like that? Or something similar?


Thanks, Petre

AvantGo doe something very similar, yes :
https://my.avantgo.com/home/index.html

The channels tend to be pre-defined to a degree, but there's lots of
useful free content out there to be had.

Thanks for the replies. Avantgo looks interesting. But maybe I haven't
asked the original question well. Let me try again here. What I am
looking for is some app (freeware preferably) that I can set to say go
to www.abc.com/xyz.htm and save out that particular page, and then go
to www.efg.com/info/map.jpg, and save out that graphics and so on. And
when I start the app, it will automatically go to these pre-defined
sites and locations and save out the page or graphics into a
pre-defined folders. The real life application of this is that I have
to go to certain sites to get weather and other information daily, and
maybe sometimes a few times a day, and I'd like to automate the
process.

Thanks, Petre.

NetFront is not free, but it's autocruise function does that. You
define addresses that you want it to store (you can choose whether and
how deep it follows links from that address etc). You can then
manually click "start autocruise", or schedule it to happen on certain
days and times of the week. You access the stored pages by simply
entering the address or clicking the bookmark with the browser in
offline mode.

I don't think the Windows Mobile 5 version of NetFront is out yet,
don't know what OS you have.

World Offline from Sunnysoft.

When I'm out and about with my Pocket PC and WiFi card, I use Sunnysoft's
World Offline for this, and while the program isn't free it isn't very
expensive. And while it saves to a pre-defined folder, it saves in its own
format but this works fine with Pocket Internet Explorer.

If you have a PC running Windows or Linux you can get 2 programs called
httrack and wget that allow you to do what I do: download the web pages at
home onto your hard disk then copy them to the PPC. The Windows version of
httrack has a GUI but I'm not sure about wget - I think it (and both
programs on Linux) require you to get your hands dirty at the command line.
