I can pause copy and resume?

[Maperos]

Hello to all I m a novice about webcopy,I try to find solutions to my request but l did not.
I copy a BIG  website maybe 500 gigabyte
I m worried for my hard disk ( maybe 1 week continue copy)
If I stop temporarily webcopy how I can resume ?
I try one time but I need to make a new project.
Anyone have a solution?tank you in advance 🙏🙏💙💙

Currently Pause/Resume does not exist in the program. You can only stop and start over. This is a big request and the author IS working on implementing it in an upcoming release. We are all just waiting. (and I to am trying to get a large site, about 2 TB total)

Just to add, that I too would like pause resume.  Not for the same reason though.  When setting up the parameters for a copy, I can get 20 minutes in and then see that I should exclude some stuff.  I'd really like to be able to pause, change parameters and then resume with the updated parameters.

at the moment, I have to stop and start again

Hello,

Unfortunately pause/resume still isn't available as helpfully noted by Lonewolf. It is planned, but likely for 1.11 later this year once multithreaded crawling (another big ask) is added in 1.10, if all goes well.

Although you can't adjust settings whilst the scan is running, you can add new exclusions, although it's a bit hacky and wasn't actually intended (although I frequently use this trick when scanning sites as part of bug reports to narrow things down). If you right click an entry as it appears in the results list, the context menu has an Add Rule option on it which defaults to the URL of the item that was clicked. However, you can change this to be whatever you want - useful for excluding things on the fly, but that's about it.
