What does it do?Divert is a web based download manager. It
consist of an applet (DivertApplet) and a servlet (DivertServlet). Users
interact with the DivertApplet on a browser to submit URLs. The URLs are
passed to the DivertServlet which will then download the URLs at the
webserver. Downloaded files are stored at the webserver and the
download traffic are diverted away from the user's PC.
The DivertServlet is written using Java Servlet Specification version
2.1. This allow you to run the servlet on Java-based
webserver like Apache Web Server.
Advantages/benefits
- Downloading huge files over slow connection take a long time. Divert
your downloads to a webserver that has high speed Internet connection.
Install Divert at the webserver and submit your URLs from a slow
connection.
- Reduce your Internet connection traffic. Your browser load pages
slower while you are doing heavy downloads in the background. Divert
these downloads to another location to speed up your browser.
- You dont need to stay connected for whole duration of the files
download. You can disconnect and power off your PC after submiting URLs
to the DivertServlet and it will download the URLs for you at the
webserver. You can logon later to check on the download status.
- Share Download files.
You can avoid duplicate downloads of huge
files. In some occasion, you find that a file is downloaded many times,
each time by different employee. DivertServlet will not download a file
if it find the existing file on the disk is up to date.
- Like other offline browsers, you spend less time browsing the net.
You dont have to wait for pages to be downloaded.
LimitationUsers need to have physical or LAN access to
DivertServlet machine. Having only WAN (slow) access to this machine
defeat the purpose of Divert. |
