Tips & Warnings

• While adding a Web site, you can specify any URL that you can open in your browser (it can be either intranet or internet). But, there are some limitations on the types of Web pages that Webaroo currently supports when you are adding those sites to your library. You could end up with some trouble downloading some pages from a Web site that contains one or more of the following components: Dynamic content using scripting (client or server side) Flash Video Audio Frames Web pages requiring authentication (a user name and password) Although Webaroo does support the download of audio, video and flash sites, the application cannot currently download files that are being streamed live. As for password protected web pages, users can capture those Web pages ONLY using the Webaroo browser button's capture page function. Users cannot download an entire password-protected site using the browser button or the Add Web Site feature in the Webaroo client. So you have to specify the number of Web pages you want to download using the "Advanced Settings" in the "Add Website" page. Users can either download any of Webaroo's web packs, which are a subset of selected Web pages with most content value and least storage size that are on Webaroo's servers. But, if you are downloading your own favorite Web sites, please consider copyright issues specified by the page owners of those Web pages or Web sites, third-party clients' Web page rules and legal policies before downloading those Web pages or Web sites. (Webaroo itself gives a warning that Webaroo may not be affiliated with the authors of that web page nor responsible for its content, and that the page may be protected by copyright.) Users have to check the policy rules related to Webaroo company for all rules, service agreements, and privacy policy related to the Webaroo company too. (Click on the Policy link under the Content page within Webaroo to look into Webaroo's Service Agreement and Policy rules.) To install Webaroo on your handheld devices such as Windows Pocket PC 2003 SE or Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC, you are first required to install Webaroo on your desktop or laptop to then install Webaroo on your handheld device.
