The MaxResponseSize property protects your spider from downloading a page that is too large. By default, MaxResponseSize = 300,000 bytes. Setting it to 0 indicates that there is no maximum. You may set it to a number indicating the maximum number of bytes to download. URLs with response sizes larger than this will be skipped.

// The Chilkat Spider component/library is free.
Chilkat.Spider spider = new Chilkat.Spider();

spider.Initialize("www.chilkatsoft.com");

// Add the 1st URL:
spider.AddUnspidered("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/");

// This example demonstrates setting the MaxResponseSize property
// Do not download anything with a response size greater than 100,000 bytes.
spider.MaxResponseSize = 100000;
