Try Offline Explorer

Monitor Web Sites

Thanks to Offline Explorer’s powerful scheduling feature, you can automatically monitor web sites, and download changed information. Offline Explorer also includes a unique Schedule Manager that gives you an easy, visual way to create your schedule. Just use drag-and-drop to assign a time to check the web site to any downloading project. To automate tasks even more effectively, Offline Explorer Pro edition has the ability to use macros that will download different URL’s according to the date, time, weekday, month or year. You can also set up Offline Explorer to dial the Internet when necessary, and hang up the connection, exit itself, or shut down the computer once all downloads are complete.

I’ve been using it since 99. great tool, rich of features!!
