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.

[...] Plug in the address of the archive—a web or FTP address will do—and LoadScout remotely displays the contents. From there, you can browse the directories and files just like would if the archive was open on your computer. The option to cherry pick what you want to download is extremely helpful if all you need, for example, is a single driver file out of a bulky driver pack. In addition to remote archive browsing, LoadScout previews media like MP3 and AVI files by jumping to any location in the remote file and starting playback from there. Even if you intend to download the entire file, LoadScout lets you verify the contents before you waste time and bandwidth downloading it. LoadScout is freeware, Windows only.

I believe free download manager also lets you download file inside an archive on a selective basis. Not sure, but i have seen options to uncheck specific files there.
So can it be used on the normal main file hosts ?
