Is surfing the net TOO SLOW and BORING?

YES! That's why we are pleased to present SPIDERFISH, the latest application from the talented minds at Kosowan.com!

Spiderfish Version 2.0 now available!

Spiderfish traverses websites and downloads all files it finds (e.g. gif, jpg, mp3, etc.). To search a particular webpage, put the webpage's URL into the Webpage textbox, set the Download Directory, and push the "Go" button. All files found by Spiderfish will be put into the download directory.

    (2006-09-18)     		  The socket connection timeout is because the site you are trying to connect to is not responding promptly. Usually, this is because either the site is down or bogged down with more connections than it can handle.
