How does Nici compare to a Web Browser?

Nici actually contains a Web Browser, but expands it to provide features specialized for finding, browsing and downloading web pages of pictures or images.

With a traditional Web Browser, downloading and viewing a page are tied together; the only way around this is to open pages in multiple browser windows waiting for each to finish.

Nici separates the two, enabling automated picture downloading ... while you browse through pictures that have already downloaded.

Unlike a traditional Web Browser, Nici uses a download line. You can add as many pages and pictures as you want to the line, and Nici will work its way through the line automatically downloading pictures. Add 20-30 pages and come back in 30 minutes to view 300-500 new pictures.

Nici's main function is as an internet picture downloader, and it saves the pictures it downloads to your hard-drive so you can view them the next time you use Nici.

Nici contains an advanced picture viewer, which you can use to browse and manage all the images that have been downloaded.
