Webpictures 1.8.7.0
Reviewed by: Jassy, Mon Apr 05 2004
I have been a registered user for some time now and have had one update. This program works well if you are downloading a reasonable number of files from a site but once you start to download a large number (depending on amount of free memory available on PC in my case >15,000) the PC will slow to a crawl and eventually hang. This is because as you download, a record is made in the Webpictures DB which is held in memory and does no swap to disc.
I raised this issue with author and have not received any response.
I also use Webminer which is also a reasonable product but suffers from the same issues. The difference with this product is that when I raised the problem with the author he agreed and advised that in the next release there will be an overhaul of this area.
