Puller is the part of PushPull which actually performs the web page
monitoring. Once started it runs through all the URLS in the
database. Any pages which have been updated are noted.

If Puller is running in ONLINE mode then it simply adds these pages to
the update page which is displayed in your browser once Puller has
finished.
If Puller is not running in ONLINE mode then it actually downloads
these pages to your harddrive so you can view them at your convenience.
There are four gadgets on Puller:
BUTTON
DESCRIPTION
|
CPS
|
The speed at which the current document has been downloaded. This is
useful for deciding whether to skip to the next URL or not.
| |
FILE SIZE
|
The amount in bytes of the current document downloaded so far.
| |
SKIP URL
|
Skips the current file and moves on to the next one.
| |
ABORT
|
Closes down Puller as quickly as possible. NOTE there may be a short pause
if it was in the middle of negotiating a TCP connection.
| | |
Puller can be run safely offline, but it won't actually do anything
useful. :)
Puller's GUI can be re-sized horizontally but not vertically. The
vertical size is calculated based on the size of your chosen font.
