Blue Crab is a straightforward OS X software solution designed to provide you with a clean and simple interface for downloading content from websites onto your Mac's hard drive.

Blue Crab’s main window is organized in an intuitive fashion with a URL field on the upper part of the window, while under it users can view detailed progress information for the downloads that are taking place, as well as a panel that shows the server’s response for the download requests.

Moreover, Blue Crab makes it easy for you to download almost all the content from a specific URL address as it supports grabbing HTML, PDFs, graphic, video, archives, pictures, and other types of files. Note that you can use selective filtering in order to download preferred types of data with just a few clicks.

Another handy feature is the fact that Blue Crab offers support for multiple concomitant downloads or batch downloading. Users can select a couple of URLs and either copy / paste them or drag and drop them into Blue Crab’s Batch Download window.

Blue Crab has yet another ace up its sleeve called Media Grabber, that enables you to download only media files from a specific server, such as: graphics, movies, or music files.

The Blue Crab app can also download images from a website, display the downloaded images as a slide-show, and preserve the folder structure from the remote download location.

For your convenience, Blue Crab puts at your disposal a built-in text search window, that can display the results in certain hierarchical order or with the help of easy to browse thumbnail previews.

To sum it all up, Blue Crab is quite a useful application to have around on your Mac if you need to download files from websites, and want a faster and automated process for doing just that.
