Commercial; $25

Current Version: 4.9.6 (April 21, 2008) / 1.0.1 "Lite" (January 30, 2008)

Limit Point Software produces Blue Crab, a "high-performance crawler for intranets and the Internet" that allows you to index Web content in a manner similar to the way the big search engines do it.

Version 4.9.6 includes the following enhancements:

  • Improved the behavior of the batch downloader when importing text files.
  • Fixed a bug that could corrupt memory when the batch download window was closed.

The software requires a demo registration code in order to take it for a test drive.

A Lite version of the software (part of Limit Point's all-in-one utility pack) is also available. This is essentially a stripped down version of Blue Crab that you use to download websites. It was created for those who don't need all the bells and whistles of Blue Crab, derived from its "Quick Grabber" feature.
