All you have to do with Online Games Downloader is open a Flash game in your browser, then copy the URL into the application. As soon as you press CTRL & C, the URL appears in Online Games Downloader, and then the program attempts to download the flash game.

Once finished, you can then access anything you've downloaded from the library of Online Games Downloader. Online Games Downloader is very easy to use, but unfortunately flawed. Many Flash game sites design their games so they cannot be played offline, and detect when you are not. It is very hit and miss whether or not you'll be able to download the games at all with Online Games Downloader.

Games that do download with Online Games Downloader are often glitchy when you play them. Sites like Kongregate and Newgrounds, popular flash game sources don't work at all with Online Games Downloader. While it's a nice idea, version 2.0 still feels a lot like a beta release. It still remains full of issues that need solving before Online Games Downloader becomes a truly useful Flash game downloader.

Online Games Downloader is an unreliable way to play Flash games offline, but will work with unsophisticated websites.

After installing the program – which includes WinPcap – simply launch your browser and Free Media Catcher will detect and download any media file (FLV, MP3, MP4 and more) streaming from the website you’re currently visiting. The program works with all popular sites, such as YouTube, Dailymotion, Megavideo, Vimeo, MySpace, Songza and Last.fm, among others.

Free Media Catcher can be minimized to the system tray, from where it does its job in the background. The only time you’ll notice the program is working is when it displays a small desktop notification after finding new media to download. The configuration settings in Free Media Catcher let you set a minimum size, so that the program doesn’t download everything!

Free Media Catcher works fine, but lacks advanced tools you find in other similar programs, like a built-in converter. Also, the included player was a bit buggy and didn't play all the videos we downloaded during our tests.

With Free Media Catcher you can easily download all the streamed media you come across while browsing the web.

The app carries out these tasks via an in-built browser and a series of filters. The BlackWidow interface is average, but it's not difficult to find your way around - find the website using Browser, set the Filters, start the Scanner and, when you're done, investigate the results under Link Errors, Emails, Structure and NetSpy.

While casual users might want to use BlackWidow to access hard-to-reach content they want to download, it's more a tool aimed at developers who want to mirror websites and investigate them thoroughly. It's easy to use, but of course, you need the knowledge to interpret the results.

If you are capable of figuring them out, you'll find that BlackWidow has several useful tools, among them the ability to export both the contents and the structure of websites, a snapshot function and the ability to view source code. It's not a slick application, but if you want to get to the bottom of a website - or proxy/FTP - BlackWidow is a great start.

BlackWidow will help you get an in-depth view of a website, its structure and content.

While BrownRecluse tries to be accessible, this is still not suitable for beginners. You'll need a rudimentary understanding of programming to use and benefit from this web crawler. To help, there are ready-made scripts that give you a starting point to make your own.

Open a script file and hit run, and BrownRecluse will begin to crawl the specified web site, and save the data the script requires. The script could be written to collect addresses, monitor site changes, or download all the images or MP3 files on a site. BrownRecluse's uses depend only on the person programming the script.

BrownRecluse allows multiple scripts to run at the same time, and they can be paused and restarted without problem.

If you want to grab information or files from websites, and have enough technical knowledge, BrownRecluse does the job.

Google Book Search now has thousands of classic books online for you can read cover to cover. Google Book Downloader, as its name suggests, allows you to download these for reading at your offline pleasure.

The application itself comes with very few instructions, although the homepage gives a little more help. The instructions tell you to paste the code of the book you want to download - the code is specifically the ID at the end of the URL when you visit the "About this book" page. It is possible to do this for some books even if there is no "download PDF" button on the Google Book Search page, although it's not recommended as it is not legal.

Once the book has been checked in Melon Google Book Downloader, clicking 'Save entire book as...' will convert the file to PDF format. Downloading the data can be a lengthy process, anywhere between a minute and half an hour or more. Conversion can also take a while, but the end results are good. The options tool is very technical, and probably best left untouched.

This alpha release of Melon Google Book Downloader could be really useful for students, although it's a little rough around the edges at the moment.
