Hey Loopline,
Every time I interrupt a harvest I crash and get this error message.
Access violation at address 005CB121 in module 'scrapebox.exe'. Read of address 0003FFFC.
Any ideas?
Also is there a way to get SB to only scrape the top 5 or less results? Every time I try to set it to less than 10 it reverts to 10. Im wasting valuable scrape time on duplicates.
You can go into your scrapebox folder >> configuration >> scrapebox.ini
edit that and look for :
[Engines]
under that look for:
Results=10
Change the 10 to 5 so
Results=5
save the file. Then launch scrapebox. It will only harvest 5 results or whatever you specify.
However if you go typing anything into the results box in the main Scrapebox GUI then its going to revert back to 10 until you change it again.
As for the crash it seems to me that its a windows issue. Its trying to use a memory address that windows has either assigned to another program is no longer letting scrapebox use. Of course the results are stored in the harvester_sessions folder of your scrapebox install so you aren't losing the results, but I understand that could be annoying. I would try to delete that install of scrapebox and redownload:
http://www.scrapebox.com/payment-received
Make sure you restart your PC too. If that doesn't work just go down to your local computer store and get a stick of dynamite and a new pc. The new PC is for scrapebox the stick of dynamite is for the old pc, but you will need to get to a wide open field to "fix" the old pc. hehe.
In reality though, scrapebox is just trying to interact with windows and widnows is telling it no, you can't do that and then it crashes. From what I know.
hi thanks
how do i test my connection speed
how much does it take to post 1000 or 10k blogcomments?
I have 795MHz 2 GB ram
1.73 Ghz Processor
XP SP2
with 2 Gb free space in C drive
speedtest . net says
0.40 MBPS Download
0.44 MBPS Upload
while cnet says 538 kbps
Scrapebox will run on that, but you are going to need to keep the connections way down and the timeouts up for good success. Meaning like 10 connections maybe 20. maybe 5. Its going to take a little while to hit 10,000 blogs on like 5 connections, but only a matter of hours. I mean if you started it and went to bed and got up 8 hours later it would likely be done with 10,000 blogs at 5 connections. Probably less time then that.
You could of course always rent a VPS. I mean on my dedi server I could plow thru 10,000 urls in 3-7 minutes. So scrapebox is capable, but your pc/inet speed is going to be the limiting factor.
