OE overloaded by huge parsing queues

Oleg, today is the posting day so bare with me please I have several more posts in my queue ;)

Ok here it is:
when the parsing queue becomes too large OE can slow down all the system.
The other drawback of large parsing queue is that if I need to restart the comp I should wait for the entire queue to clear otherwise I wouldn`t be able to save project.

I was thinking that there is no reason to continue downloading more files than OE can swallow,
So what about a little check box that says:
Stop downloading if Parsing queue reaches X files, or keep parsing queue below X files...
where X is a parameter which every user chooses for himself.

Can you tell me, after what parsing queue size, the slowdown becomes noticable? Is it 500, 1000, 10000 files?

It depends pretty much on the website,
some projects don`t slow down even with 200,000 queue (but still a problem remains when i need to restart the computer)
Other can start slow down already above 30,000 files.

Thats why I think a variable X is the best solution.

Thanks

Frankly, I am not sure that this should be added to the Options dialog. I can add it easily to be setup either in Registry or command-line. What do you think?

Command-line or Registry is fine with me, Thanks!

OK. I added the ParsingMax parameter to the Registry. Just set it to a value over 0 to suspend the download when parsing queue is over that amount of files.

The updated oe.exe file is here:

Thanks a lot!
It`s a pleasure to work with u Oleg, you make the requested changes in a matter of days (unlike some other products developers that i work with).

Oleg, I checked the beta version, unfortunately i have to disappoint u the ParsingMax key doesn`t work.
I put it in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MetaProducts\Offline Explorer Pro\Parameters

ParsingMax REG_DWORD 10

The parsing queue increases indefinitely.

Moreover the latest beta very unstable, it stacks almost immediately. U can try it on any site with a lot of links, and small files. I tried it on www.ebay.com and after downloading 103 files it stacked. I will send u my sample project and registry settings, maybe I am doing something wrong, although before everything worked fine. (btw I tried the www.ebay.com with and without the new registry key)

I cannot reproduce the problem. I will now upload the current version I tested your Project with. I will write you directly.
