Collect URL : Search for URLs starting from a provided address, filter the links and export them easily, with this lightweight piece of software
Collect URL is a relatively straightforward web crawler that can create a comprehensive list of links starting from a user-defined address. It is not really packed with features, but it does offer a couple of handy filtering tools, and it is very easy to use.
Lightweight, simple-to-use web crawler
You can get started with Collect URL in no time at all, as there is no need to perform any configurations before launching a scan. Just enter the desired URL, click the Start button and wait for the list to be populated.The search will continue for as long as necessary in order to follow and gather all the related links. However, you cannot limit the depth of the scan, a feature that should not be missing from such an application.
Offers a set of basic filters for you to work with
If you want your scan to be more precise, you can have the program display the advanced settings that are hidden by default. They are fairly straightforward, but it still would have helped if some explanations were provided via tooltips.Collect URL allows you to select between several crawling engines, and you can alter the connection timeout and response timeout values.Additionally, it is possible to limit the scan to single domains, and you also have the option of ignoring extensions you are not interested in.
Straightforward app that could use some improvements
Unfortunately, none of your settings are saved when shutting down the program, which means you may have to perform these configurations multiple times if you use the application on a regular basis.To sum up, Collect URL is a reliable web crawler for users who need to scan for and save a list of URLs starting from a specific address. It is a minimalistic app that does not offer a lot of advanced features, but it is easy to use and can get the job done.
