I'm using ie4 and Win 95/ 8 (work & home).

I know there are utilities which will "preload" all the pages linked to
from one a parent web page (and that some servers block such access).

(Are these any good, BTW? Which is best?)

I'm looking for a similar utility, which will allow me to specify that I
want to download (and save to disc) all files of a certain type linked
to from a particular page - *.zip, *.exe, *.ttf, or whatever - and NOT
follow links to other pages.

Additionally/ alternatively, it might offer me a list of the files, and
I could specify (tick box, or whatever) which I want downloading, and
to where.

Does such a beast exist?
