Introduction

This tool is designed to allow the content of wol.jw.org to be downloaded and saved to a portable device for later browsing when an internet connection might not be available. This has many uses, for example,

• if your internet connection is slow, you can download the page once and never have to do so again
• if you don't have internet, someone else can download the pages for you and give them to you, or you can download them at a public WiFi location
• you can use wol.jw.org without the internet where ever there is a computer without having to install anything first
• and more...

As you can see there are several uses for a tool like this. Additionally, as features are requested, if feasible, they will be added.

Getting Started

Setting the browse mode

There are 5 browse modes to choose from:

• "Offline" - This mode will never attempt to get information from the internet.
• "Offline - Get Missing Page" - This mode will first look locally for the web page requested, if it isn't found, it will try getting it from the internet.
• "Offline - Get Linked Pages" - This mode will first look locally for the web page requested, if it isn't found, it will try getting it from the internet. It will also look at the requested page and make sure every link is saved locally too so that the next link clicked won't have to go to the internet to download.
• "Online" - This mode will work like a normal browser going to the internet for every page request. It will save every page it downloads locally for later browsing without the internet.
• "Online - Get Linked Pages" - This mode will work like a normal browser going to the internet for every page request. It will save every page it downloads locally, which includes every page the current page links to.

Setting the language

The first time the program runs there will be no language to choose from. The list of languages must first be downloaded from the internet. At any time you can click the "Update Languages" button to download the latest list of languages from wol.jw.org. Once the languages are downloaded (which only takes a second, even on slow internet connections) the drop-down box just below the address bar will contain all the languages available for browsing. If you select a language from that box the appropriate page from wol.jw.org will be downloaded according to your browse mode (see above).

At this point you will be able to browse the page as you normally would. There should be no difference in navigation between this and other web browsers you may be accustomed to.

Romanization (for Chinese)

If you are browsing a page in Chinese, would like Romanization with it, and have the Romanization extensions, you can pick your preferred Romanization scheme from the drop-down box to the right of the box where you pick the language.

Downloading pages in bulk

If you would like to download all the pages for a given language, you can simply pick your preferred language and then click the button "Download All Pages In Selected Language".
