Advanced

The Advanced pane provides the following settings:

Attempts

Use this control to specify the number of times SiteSucker should attempt to download a file. SiteSucker will only retry downloading a file if a timeout error occurs.

Timeout (seconds)

Use this control to select the length of time that SiteSucker should wait for a response from the server.

Delay (seconds)

Use this control to specify the length of time that SiteSucker should delay between download requests. This feature can allow you to download sites while using very little bandwidth and can help avoid anti-mining safeguards employed by some sites.

If you select 0, SiteSucker downloads the site as quickly as possible. If you select any other value, SiteSucker will add a random delay (within the range of the specified delay ± 2 seconds) before it downloads a file.

Identity

Use this control to customize the way SiteSucker identifies itself when making a request. Some sites are very particular about which browsers they will allow. You can you use this feature to "fool" the site into thinking that you are using an approved browser.

To change SiteSucker's identity, simply click on this control and select one of the Web browsers listed. (If you choose None, SiteSucker will not include any identifying information when making requests.)
