First are you sure these are the correct URLS? Try these 
ones:
www.geocities.com/alpha/
www.geocities.com/beta/
www.geocities.com/charlie/

I suspect www.geocities.com/alpha to be redirected to 
www.geocities.com/alpha/, which slows down a bit the 
capture, and is causing the problems you are having

Another solution is to use filters: (Options/Scan rules)

-www.geocities.com +www.geocities.com/alpha/* 
+www.geocities.com/beta/* +www.geocities.com/charlie/*
