Question

A program that automatically connects to websites and downloads documents, saving them to the local drive, is known as:

• A. Offline browsers
• B. Web servers
• C. Web downloading utilities
• D. None of these

Hint:

Use web downloading utilities for automating bulk downloads — examples include wget, Internet Download Manager (IDM), and JDownloader.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Web downloading utilities are specialized programs or tools that can automatically connect to websites and retrieve files or entire web pages to be stored locally.
They often provide features like scheduling downloads, resuming broken transfers, and downloading multiple files at once.
- Option (A) Offline browsers: Used to save entire websites for offline viewing but not necessarily designed for automatic, repeated downloading.
- Option (B) Web servers: Host websites and serve web pages to browsers — they do not download content to a user’s system.
- Option (C) Web downloading utilities: Correct, as they automate the process of downloading files or pages from the internet to the local computer.
- Option (D) None of these: Incorrect, since option (C) is valid.
Therefore, the correct choice is $\mathbfWeb\ downloading\ utilities$.
