Number of concurrent connections

If you establish too many concurrent connections to the same site, transfer speed may significantly decrease. In addition, the site administrator may dislike it, which will result in blocking your IP. When one file is over, the connection won't be closed, next file will reuse it without login again. If this value is great than 1, page "Proxy" will emerge, please see "Job/Download" and "Job/Proxy".

Save settings

Save as the default settings for site explorer, it is similar to "Scheme" for job. If you enter the URL into the address bar, and the parsed site doesn't match the item in the favorite, Net Transport will use this default settings to explore. Note, explorer "proxy" uses the proxy of the current job scheme.

Site Menu

Disconnect

Close socket of the current site. Use this feature when site only allows one thread one IP but user want to download files in this site. Tips, use multiple proxies to break certain restrictions but keeping site alive.

Delete directory

Delete current item and all its sub-item if any. Use this feature if there are too much sites in the left directory pane. Notes, this option only deletes tree in the directory pane you see. Net Transport guarantees the directory on the site won't be modified. In other words, "Site Explorer" only can read not write, it isn't FTP tool like CuteFTP.
