Automatic downloading of files to cache

[Talicada]

Hi, is there a way to add links to like a download queue so that they can be downloaded and placed into the cache? If not, It would be helpful for those who have a huge list of files that need to be cached but don't have the time to individually go to each page and grab the item.

Hi

you can use a command line utility like wget.exe to download / crawl sites, and you can start this from the WinGate scheduler even if you like. It can be set to use a proxy, so it will then fill / refresh your cache.

Thanks for the reply, but that's not really what I am looking for.

HI

sorry, I thought you wanted something that will download links and get them into the cache?

That was, but I was looking for more of a in-house system built into the actual software, but by the looks of it it is not possible.

Hi

we didn't see the point in spending a lot of time to replicate free tools.

You can use a batch file to split a text file list and launch wget.exe for each line in it, so you could still maintain a list of URLs you want to be pre-cached. It's possible wget can even process some sort of input file for this. It's actually fairly capable.

Also I think there are other tools around you can use to pre-populate caches by fetching lists of URLs via a proxy.
