Connections

The Connections preferences screen lets you control how Internet Owl connects to the websites it's monitoring.

This controls how many web pages are checked simultaneously.

If you have a fast internet connection, you can set this number higher.

This controls the priority of Internet Owl with respect to other programs.

This is how long the program waits for a connection to a website before giving up.

This is how many attempts at connecting to a website are made before marking it as unreachable.

Each web browser identifies itself to a web server using a characteristic signature called a "user agent".

This allows you to change the apparent type of web browser you are.
