The S3 Compatible page of the Options window (accessible from the File, Options->Online connections menu item) contains S3 Compatible settings.
When S3 Compatible server not ready
The first number (Retry option) indicates how many times the application tries to access the destination server if it is not available. By default this option is set to 5 attempts. The second number (wait option) indicates how many seconds to wait between two consecutive attempts to access the destination location. By default this option is set to 60 seconds. This option is useful when the destination S3 Compatible server has restrictions (i.e. only 2 users logged in the same time, no. of accesses etc.) and insures that if the S3 Compatible server cannot accept your connection, it will not be "hammered" by sending log-in requests frequently.
Configurations
