Repairing and Reparsing

Repairing
In rare circumstances an unrecoverable error may occur while downloading a site (eg running out of hard disk space).  If this happens you will be left with many files on your hard disk which are not browsable - they usually have the .temp extension.  The files still need to be parsed and given their proper filenames.

You can do this using the Repair command on the Utilities menu.

If the site was downloaded by V1.1 or later (or V2 beta 4 or later) PageNest reads a file containing recovery information which was written while downloading.  For earlier versions PageNest searches the sites folder on the hard disk and attempts to re-construct the filenames (and the orginal web addresses) from them.

Reparsing
Some of the options in PageNest affect what information is written into the downloaded files when they are parsed - most notably the Dial Protection settings.  If you change these settings they only affect newly downloaded pages.  To change the settings in an already downloaded site use the ReParse item on the Utilities menu.
