Yeah, I'm wondering if there's a program that's capable of alerting you when a site is updated. Similar to how MSN and Google have programs that will let you know when you get email, although I imagine that's a lot more simple.

RSS

You don't have to download anything if you use Firefox

I was thinking of RSS. That's only for sites that provide RSS feeds, though, correct (I don't know much about it)? I would mainly want to use this for gaming companies' Japanese websites.

It's called the F5 button.

Haha, very funny.

I already refresh a lot of websites frequently throughout the day. If I had a program like this, I wouldn't have to.

Outside of RSS, there are tools while download websites, but they are very rare these days.

 

[Drakken]

Is that supposed to be "tools which download websites?" If so, how would that help me?
