Currently the only way to do it permanently is a bit complicated.

1) Copy /spider/perl/Local.pm to /spider/local
2) edit it and on line 26 there is a definition of 'sub init'
3) between the { on the next line and the } a couple of lines later:-

{
	$Spot::maxspots = 100;
}

4) to change the maximum to 100, obviously you can change it to any
number you like, but I would STRONGLY suggest no more than about 250 or
so unless you have a really fast machine.

5) then restart the node.
