Setting a Maximum Response Size

See more Spider Examples

The MaxResponseSize property protects your spider from downloading a page that is too large. By default, MaxResponseSize = 0, which indicates that there is no maximum. You may set it to a number indicating the maximum number of bytes to download. URLs with response sizes larger than this will be skipped. Visual Basic 6.0

' Do not download anything with a response size greater than 100,000 bytes.
