## Option panel : Flow Control

- Number of connections
Define the number of simultaneous connections that can be initiated by the engine.
It is recommended to limit this number to 1 or 2 if you are mirroring big files on a site, more on standard sites (8 is recommended, up to 42 if it is supported by the system)
- TimeOut
Defines what time the engine has to wait if no response if given by a server.
120 seconds is recommended (less of fast pipes, more if you connection is sloppy)
You can optionally skip all links from a host that has generated a timeout. Warning: is this checkbox is selected, a timeout will eliminate all links from the origin server
- Retries
Number of retries if a non-fatal error occured (timeout, for example)
Note that this will not solve fatal errors such as "Not Found" pages and so on!
- Min Transfer Rate
Minimum transfer rate tolerated on a site. If the transfer rate if slower that the defined value, then the link is skipped
You can optionally skip all links from a host that has generated a "too slow" error. Warning: is this checkbox is selected, a "too slow" errors will eliminate all links from the origin server
