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.

Corrupt zip files cannot be extracted usually displaying the message that the file is not a valid archive. Most corrupt files can be repaired if the corruption was caused by an interrupted download or incomplete upload. Those are probably the most likely cases for zip file corruption with hard disk errors as a third possibility.

Zip Repair is an easy to use software that tries to repair corrupt zip files. The user needs to provide the location of the corrupt zip file and may select a new name for the recovered version or keep the automatic suggestion.

A list of repaired files will be shown in the next step which are the files that can be extracted from the new zip archive that gets created. The last step lists the amount of files that have been repaired. The last step would be to extract the files from the newly created zip archive.
