Is it possible to throttle back MW-ZIP such that it only fetches one thing at a time and does not attempt to fetch so many things simultaneously?
I am trying to run MW-ZIP from a low-power client with a narrow pipe and am getting errors which indicate that some of the fetches are taking too long. I think it is simply swamping the network channel that I have available and the server is killing the fetch after a time limit is reached. I think it would work just fine if I could have it do only one thing at a time. I can watch the temporary zip file as the download is occuring and I see that images are being fetched simultaneously, several at a time. A few of these images never completely make it. The errors I am seeing include a few "connection reset" and "timeout" errors. I am not trying to run a render server and am not concerned with total throughput, just completeness and accuracy. I was also getting DNS errors where I think my service provider was trying to stop DoS attacks or something. I worked around that by putting the DNS name in the hosts file thereby bypassing the DNS server altogether. I started down this path when my book grew to the point that the public render server became unreliable. It now only works from large bandwidth clients and my narrow network connection stops at 35.5 MB during the download of the final PDF. Besides, I am considering making some formatting changes that are not supported by the public render server. I am unable to run my own render server because the host is Windows. My goals is the final PDF, not periodic downloads so running it manually is a fine solution if I can get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.
