Hello Noha,

                               To see if the problem occurs only with large
data sets... have you tried downloading a page with...lets say a couple of
hundred posts/comments? This is just to see if you face the same issue with
smaller data sets...would also suggest that you dont download more than a
couple of pages at any given time...the download becomes slow with too many
downloads at one point of time...

I dont know if it Is it to do with the browser on which the Ncapture is
installed as an extension? I use google chrome and its been working fine
with mine... have you tried re-installing Ncapture? I use a normal Sony
Vaio - Windows 7 with an Intel i5 processor, 4GB RAM.  I have fetched
pages/profiles which have had huge volumes of posts and ofcourse comments
for posts. I am planning on testing it out with an i7 processor, where I
can have multiple programs at the same time. I have a 40 Mbps connection.




Thanks,
Shriram Venkatraman
