Load Scout is a free software program that can be used to download zip file contents and media snippets from the Internet. The two main uses of the software program are therefor to download files out of zip files and to preview media files. The main interface can be used to load urls directly into the software program or by using the Internet Explorer integration which can be used to send urls directly to the software.
The url will be loaded into the software and a connection log will be displayed from that process. The next step depends on the type of file (zip, rar, avi or mp3) loaded into the software. The contents of rar and zip files will be shown in the interface with the option to download selected files or the full archive to the local computer.
A click on the extract button will open a different menu that provides the means to extract and download a certain time range of the media file to the computer. This provides an excellent way of previewing those mp3 and avi files before downloading the completely. Both methods works not only with web urls but also on ftp servers.
Load Scout is compatible with most versions of Microsoft Windows including Windows 95, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
