What would be the best program to check to see if a website has been updated?

Hmmm I don't think there is an app for that. The best thing is to go to the site.

Seriously. :/

Checks to see if the website has been updated. Good for news posters, but I want it mostly for anime torrent websites.

News Interceptor is a great one but it doent have the possibilty to add websites in... it uses a bank of sites that they already established (which growswith each release). aniway there are a couple emulation sites, gaming sites, it basicly covers lot of topics

That is why I like website watcher .. it highlights the actual content that has changed and you can see the difference between both old and new versions of the site it checked. It also has a ton of options to filter out things you don't want checked like dates, numbers and so on. Great program for the price .. especially for me since I use it on a daily basis for checking for emulation news.

Sounds good, but I don't have money, being a poor college student (especially with what I pay for high-speed internet per month).....
