## Example configuration file for Axel - A light download accelerator ##

############################################################################
# reconnect_delay sets the number of seconds before trying again to build
# a new connection to the server.
#
# reconnect_delay = 20
# You can set a maximum speed (bytes per second) here, Axel will try to be
# at most 5% faster or 5% slower.
#
# max_speed = 0
# You can set the maximum number of connections Axel will try to set up
# here. There's a value precompiled in the program too, setting this too
# high requires recompilation. PLEASE respect FTP server operators and other
# users: Don't set this one too high!!! 4 is enough in most cases.
#
# num_connections = 4
# If no data comes from a connection for this number of seconds, abort (and
# resume) the connection.
#
# connection_timeout = 45
# Set proxies. no_proxy is a comma-separated list of domains which are
# local, axel won't use any proxy for them. You don't have to specify full
# hostnames there.
#
# Note: If the HTTP_PROXY environment variable is set correctly already,
# you don't have to set it again here. The setting should be in the same
# format as the HTTP_PROXY var, like 'http://host.domain.com:8080/',
# although a string like 'host.domain.com:8080' should work too..
#
# Sometimes HTTP proxies support FTP downloads too, so the proxy you
# configure here will be used for FTP downloads too.
#
# If you have to use a SOCKS server for some reason, the program should
# work perfectly through socksify without even knowing about that server.
# I haven't tried it myself, so I would love to hear from you about the
# results.
#
# http_proxy =
# no_proxy =
# Keep CGI arguments in the local filename?
#
# strip_cgi_parameters = 1
# When downloading a HTTP directory/index page, (like http://localhost/~me/)
# what local filename do we have to store it in?
#
# default_filename = default
# Save state every x seconds. Set this to 0 to disable state saving during
# download. State files will always be saved when the program terminates
# (unless the download is finished, of course) so this is only useful to
# protect yourself against sudden system crashes.
#
# save_state_interval = 10
# Buffer size: Maximum amount of bytes to read from a connection. One single
# buffer is used for all the connections (no separate per-connection buffer).
# A smaller buffer might improve the accuracy of the speed limiter, but a
# larger buffer is a better choice for fast connections.
#
# buffer_size = 5120
# By default some status messages about the download are printed. You can
# disable this by setting this one to zero.
#
# verbose = 1
# FTP searcher
#
# search_timeout - Maximum time (seconds) to wait for a speed test
# search_threads - Maximum number of speed tests at once
# search_amount - Number of URL's to request from filesearching.com
# search_top - Number of different URL's to use for download
#
# search_timeout = 10
# search_threads = 3
# search_amount = 15
# search_top = 3
# If you have multiple interfaces to the Internet, you can make Axel use all
# of them by listing them here (interface name or IP address). If one of the
# interfaces is faster than the other(s), you can list it more than once and
# it will be used more often.
#
# This option is blank by default, which means Axel uses the first match in
# the routing table.
#
# interfaces =
# If you don't like the wget-alike interface, you can set this to 1 to get
# a scp-alike interface.

# alternate_output = 1
