[Coco] Site downloader help

[Rob Rosenbrock]

I just tried HT Track, and I think I see what happened.

By default, Maximum depth is set to 0 on the limits page. I don’t know if 0 represents 0 links from the homepage, or if it supposed to stand for infinite. Since infinite would be insane I assume that it means 0. If you set this too high, it may be possible to get recursive links. I set it for 3 and it seems to be sucking down the site. 

I set number of threads/connections to 2. That should keep the bandwidth down to an acceptable rate for the server.
