How do I make HTTrack download at 15MBps?

Question

I want to download some static websites. I have begun the process, but it seems that the maximum speed I can set to the GUI is a shade shorter than 1Mbps.

My down-link is steady until 54 Mbps, so I was wondering - how do I make HTTrack download, say, at 15MBps?

Answer 1

Unless you are downloading from an office with a hefty internet connection or you have a good fibre connection, it is unlikely (but not impossible) you are connected to the internet at 54MBs, this is infact the speed that your computer is connected to the wireless router.

1Mbps may be the limit of your connection, other than that, I use HTTrack and whilst it is very good, it is slow as it has to index the site and build up a list of files to download.

If you want to check for limits, before you start the download, click on Set options... and you should be able to set any limit you want under the Limits or Flow Control tabs.

Answer 2

You need to put 0 for max transfer rate and add --disable-security-limits in the scan rules box + 2nd screen that William Hilsum posted.

Answer 3

You can increase that, simply open the winprofile.ini in the hts-cache folder into your download folder. Serach there for the point MaxRate= and write your speed after ist. MaxRate=9999999 will set the limit to ~1mb/s. Now open your Project, let run it, and while it downloades open Site-Kopie/Optionen Ändern (change options) and simpli klick Ok. The speed should now go to max for this site or up to 1mb.
