=== Information ===

   [http://members.lycos.co.uk/anandpillai "HarvestMan Homepage"]

=== How it spins its web ===
   HarvestMan uses a new threading model using python threads to
   achieve a very fast, but highly customizable download of web-sites
   on the internet.It can be used to download files from intranet
   servers.
  
   HarvestMan is a truly multi-threaded webcrawler utility
   using the threading support in python language to the fullest.
  
   It is the first webcrawler in python, which is opensource.

=== Features ===

    * Fully Multithreaded
    * Number of threads configurable by user
    * Support for robots exclusion protocol
    * Filtering of urls using regular expressions
    * Filtering of server names using regular expressions
    * Control download by specifying depth of fetching
    * Configure by number of files downloadable
    * Specify timeout for individual threads
    * Control download speed by changing thread/depth options.

=== Who should use it ===

    HarvestMan is written for the desktop user. It is ideally
    suited for python hackers and learners. We also urge the
    avergae user to download the executable and try it. It is free ! :-)

=== Taxonomy ===
    
    HarvestMan is the name of a kind of small spider found in parts of N.A
    also called "Daddy long legs". Since this program functions as a "spider",
    and also thrives by "harvesting" links from the internet, the name
    "HarvestMan" looked very apt.

    Species: HarvestMan
    Genus: Web-spiderae
