I’m sure that you’ve found yourself at least one time browsing a website that had plenty of cool pictures you wanted to download (of course pictures are just a basic example as you can lay your hands on all kinds of files like mov, mpeg, mpg, avi, mp3, css, js, etc. that are include in that webpage). For example, yesterday i’ve found a cool webpage that had hundreds of cool userbars and buttons and i would have took me quite a lot of time to save all of those goodies on my hard-drive, so i took advantage of this great, free tool.
