Max. simultaneous connections
Enter number of threads to be activated for data transfer. Threads are processes which are carried out simultaneously. If five threads are activated, Hello Engines! simultaneously submits data to five different search services. This helps to avoid delays as data can be sent to the next search service while you are waiting for the reply from the first one.
If you have any doubts, do not make any changes here. With five activated threads, the data transfer is already extraordinary fast so that an increased number of threads is not necessary.
WARNING: If you decide to increase the number of activated threads for transfer from a PC with slow processor speed (e.g. 133 MHz) and limited RAM, or if several other applications are running on your PC, they might respond only very slowly to your commands and your PC might even crash altogether!
We recommend to only increase the number of activated threads if you transfer data from a high-performance computer with at least 64 MB RAM!
