I cannot grab SeattleTimes or other sites; I get errors such as: 

06:30:39	Error: 	"Connect Error" (-4) after 2 retries at link
js.adsonar.com/js/adsonar.js (from
seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/home/index.html)

This makes sense; adsonar is in the MVPS HOSTS file, used to block popup and
other ads. Fine; I don't want it grabbing them.  AND External Depth is
explicitly set to 0 (which is the default value anyhow.)

The trouble is, WinHTTrack is still trying, failing and stopping after two
such errors.  

How do I convince HTTrack to:
 1. Ignore all external links as it was told
 2. Skip any files it gets a connection error with AND CONTINUE on others?
Thanks
