Hello from 2023, 22 years! from original posting.

I am using HTTTrack for the first time.
I was running HTTTrack against my internal LANsite to create a cache and your
software stopped with "Too many URLs, giving up..(>100000)" error.
Sorry, but this restriction is just stupid. If you are afraid of malicious
user using your software why not just show big fat warning before
crawling?Just remove the limit and add this warning.

WARNING!
You are going to crawl website(s) you specified.
Unless you have a permission to crawl target contents
you are forced to obey laws.
Are you really sure you want to continue?
[ YES (10 second timelock) ] [ NO ]
