Thread Settings

The Threads tab allows for advanced configuration relating to how many "processes" or internet connections are used to perform domain lookups.

Maximum simultaneous connections setting allows the user to adjust how many Internet connections are used at any given time. For example, setting this value to 5 will result in 5 domains being queried at a time. The higher this setting, the more bandwidth is required to process the query. Setting this value too high will result in * results and errors.

Connection time-out refers to the number of seconds D.R.T. waits before considering the connection to be timed-out (remote server did not respond). The higher this setting the less retries will be required to receive results, as servers such as Overture tend to be slow.

Connection interval refers to the number of seconds D.R.T. Waits between making a new connection.

Maximum retries refers to the amount of retries allowed if a given connection failed. For example, if an Overture query timed out, D.R.T. Will retry it the specified amount of times.
