"http.max.delays" doesn't specify a timespan - read the description more
carefully. I think "fetcher.server.delay" is what you are looking for. It is
the amount of time the fetcher will at least wait until it fetches another
url from the same host. Keep in mind that the fetcher obeys robots.txt files
(by default) - so if a robots.txt file is present the crawling will occur
"polite enough".

If you are looking for a way to programmatically read the fetched content (
e.g. html pages) have a look at the IndexReader class.
If you are looking for a way to dump the whole downloaded content to a Text
file or want to see some statistical information about it, try the "readseg"
command.

The page will be stored character by character, including html tags.

Crawling always occurs breadth-first. If you want fine-grained control over
the crawling sequence you should follow the procedure in the nutch tutorial
for "whole internet crawling". Nevertheless the crawling occurs
breath-first.
