Hello W3C Link Checker team: Your current Link Checker documentation says, "Both the command line version and the online one sleep at least one second between requests to each server to avoid abuses and target server congestion." However, this is causing problems. The time delay is too short, at least for the web host I use. Specifically, after the Link Checker has been running awhile, more and more of my links get returned with a 500 code, saying "server closed connection without sending any data back." In your bugs list, I noticed that Bug 918 has a very practical suggestion: Make the delay between hits to the server configurable. ( https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=918 #c0 ) I would like to see the W3C Link Checker offer a menu of time delays such as: 1 second 2 seconds 5 seconds and so on The user can then experiment on their own, choosing different delays until the system works well on their own web host.
