SiteFiler is a new browser based upon the Internet Explorer architecture. It maintains the Explorer look and feel, but includes slightly different features.

The best feature is the bulk download. This acts like a download manager and lets you download multiple files with ease: simply hit the Download button on the toolbar, and select the file formats you wish to download (images, audio, video etc). SiteFiler will search for files and list them on-screen, and you select those you wish to download.

The pop-up window quarantine function places pop-up windows into a separate area of the browser, keeping the window clutter-free. From this quarantine area you can examine the pop-ups to see which ones you wish to open, or simply close them all using the Close All button.

Other features include the ability to view images - specify a folder on your hard drive and all contained images will be displayed as thumbnails.

Images are displayed alphabetically, 12 per page, and pages can be browsed using a drop-down menu for quick access. Click on a specific image and it will be loaded full-size in a new browser window.

There are some faults with the browser, the biggest of which is the inability to open more than one browser window, and a lack of history.
