If Nici-Quick can not see a series of pictures, but can see a lot of links to other pages, it classifies the page as a Directory page {The Nici-Quick download strategy classifies a web-page as a Directory page if it contains many links to picture pages.

The benefits of the Nici-Quick strategy compared with the Crawl {Crawl downloading is the backup download strategy. Unlike the the Nici-Quick download strategy, Crawl downloading systematically downloads and searches through all links. Before starting a Crawl download, a number of parameters need to be chosen.More } strategy:

• Nici-Quick will not waste time downloading any single page. It will download the page's main url address only, unless it is reasonably sure it can see a series of pictures. This keeps the pictures flowing and the download line moving. In comparison, Crawling will download the page's main url address and then systematically download all the links found in that page. Depending on the settings, this can spend a large amount of time downloading.
• You do not need any knowledge of the structure of the web-page to use Nici-Quick. To use Crawl downloading effectively, you need to enter and modify the Crawl Settings with knowledge of the web-page's structure.
