Offline Explorer Pro/Enterprise can download your favorite
- Web,

sites (up to 500 simultaneously) at the highest possible speed.
It supports all modern Web technologies, including Flash, XML, Director, RealMedia, VRML, etc. You can browse, data mine, search, export to CD or perform other operations on downloaded sites using a clear, intuitive and convenient user interface.
While I've been using Offline Explorer as an offline browser for years, I do not consider it as the best program to record streaming media. It has too few features to be a good stream recorder. Though it could be very useful for some specific purposes. For example, if you need to download a web-site with a huge number of small media streams. I used it to download hundreds of pages from an educational web-site containing dozens of audio streams. No doubt it was the best alternative.
OS: Windows 98/me/NT4.0/2000/XP.

to derive links.
Disallowed characters are NOT removed from filename. So while saving file (especially when it's added after postprocessing), don't forget to check its filename for disallowed characters
(i.e. don't use symbols like ':', '/', etc. prohibited by your filesystem). Otherwise you won't be
able to save the file.
StreamBox VCR does not work with password protected streams.
While using SVCR it crashed several times damaging my incomplete downloads.
SVCR works with the following protocols:
- HTTP,
- FTP,
- RTSP,
- PNM (TCP),
- PNM (HTTP),
- MMS (TCP),
- MMS (HTTP),
- HTTP as PNM(HTTP),
- HTTP as MMS (HTTP).
You can use Auto option to automatically define protocol.
HTTP Proxy servers are supported.
Streambox VCR allows to resume the recording of an incomlete stream.
Streambox VCR can record Windows Media streams (HTTP, MMS, but not RTSP) and Real Video/Real Audio Streams (HTTP, PNM, RTSP)
Streambox.com no longer distrubutes its streaming video recording software.
Streambox VCR could not be used legally in the US. Illegal version could be found with AstaLavista or Google.
Remember that downloading software from unknown sources could cause problems to your system.
If you still want to download the illegal version we recommend to use Outpost Firewall
and a good antivirus program like Dr.Web to protect your computer from viruses, spyware and also from hacker attacks.
