solutions:

Missing files

At the end of the capture, find the files which were not downloaded and which interest you.

If http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/mlk/sound/promised_resample.wav is missing,

1. create the folder sound if it does not exist in the capture.
2. Using the URL, download it with dlexpert, for example, then copy it in the folder sound.
3. Edit the file your capture folder/project name/seattletimes.nwsource.com/mlk/man/MLKsound.html and replace A HREF = "http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/mlk/sound/dream_resample.wav" by A HREF = "sound/dream_resample.wav".
4. Do the same for the other missing files.

Several links such as the photograph of MLK on the home page remained absolute.

1. Check the presence of the file in the capture.

a. If it is not there, connect and visit the page.
b. Copy the image in the capture folder corresponding to its properties (click right then properties).

2. Modify the link in the HTML page (your capture folder/project name/seattletimes.nwsource.com/mlk/index.html for the photograph of MLK).
3. Do the same for the other absolute links.

The capture should be all right now.

Find with inforapid search and replace for example, all the files with this string: src="http:// and replace it with src="#http://.

For this capture, as the images of the site partners are in the folder ads.nwsource.com/Realmedia/ instead of seattletimes.nwsource.com/Realmedia/, you can replace src="http://seattletimes by src="../../ads then add ../../or ../../to src="../../ads in the sub-directories according to their depth. It is a less radical method but it takes much more time.

When browsing, no ad is displayed and you don't have to click when changing a page.
