For example you may use it to download just the "Sports" and the "Movies" Sections of a website.
For more specific downloads you can use the "Options" menu and the "Filters" menu to include/exclude certain file types ( you may want to download all the images but not the videos and the .zip files on a site).

Free Password Manager
4uOnly is a free password manager which allows you to store all your login Ids along with Password and the URL (address) of the site. If you have too many accounts then you got to have this software.
It can also generate passwords for you. Unlike other Password Managers it does not ask you for a Master Password to give access to your password list. So this can be a drawback if you share your system with other people.
