To prevent Linkbot from checking external links, uncheck the "check external
links" option.
Linkbot's filters allow you to filter out file, directories or even entire protocols from the analysis.
In the example above, the following URLs would be filtered:
All FTP URLs
All URL in the director http://tetranetsoftware.com/download/
The single URL http://tetrnaetsoftware.com/filter.htm
Linkbot's high performance multi-tasking engine allows it to check your site at speeds reaching 1200 URLs/min. The actual analysis speed is controlled by five factors:
Speed and memory for your PC:
Speed of your Internet connection
Response time of your Web server
The number of parallel connections setting
The time-out setting
Number of Simultaneous Connections
In the Connections tab of the Options window you will
find a setting for number of simultaneous connections. Here you can specify
how many URLs that Linkbot should check at the same time. The default value is 10. You may
set this number between 1 and 30. Setting this value higher will make the run progress
faster but it will also consume more of your PCs resources and also increase the
stress on your Web server.
With a dial-up connection it is unlikely that Linkbot will degrade your Web servers
performance significantly. However, with a direct Internet connection, a high performance
PC and slow Web server, your users may experience some decrease in response time from the
Web server while Linkbot is running. Use caution in these circumstances.

The Time-Out Setting
By default, Linkbot will time-out after 1 minute of waiting for the server to respond. You
may change the default time-out but it must be between 1 and 60 seconds. Setting this
value lower will speed up your run times.
Note: For more information on the other options available, please check the on-line help.
