Throttle retry delay #37048 18/07/03 08:05 PM

A lot of times, 30 seconds isn't enough and my client just keeps getting a connection throttled error. I have to click the disconnect button, wait a minute or so, and try again. What I am asking is one of two things: could the throttled retry delay be increased, or can there be an option in the connection options dialog for the throttled retry delay?

There's no real way for mIRC to know how long it should wait, maybe each connect fail with "throttled" it should wait a little longer.
