As the contact form said, support is up and license activations are still being done on a priority basis. I have had contact with support and its all good, just they are having a harder time of it right now.
Bootcamp should work, what error are you getting? Parallels works.
Gregs is back! Good to see you mate!
probably site:.edu is better as inurl ignore the period so google only sees:
inurl:edu and that could give you a lot of randomness, where as with site:.edu google sees
site:.edu
so its more accurate.
Why not take it to the next level aye?

I run dedi servers on 1000Mbit lines, and it doesn't matter if I set connections to 10 or 50 on Yahoo, I still only get about 200urls/sec.
The engines kick it out pretty quick either way. You can use proxies to get a higher urls/sec rate, but the engines have it more or less throteled per IP so you get so much of their bandwidth and thats it. So it looks like for your inet connection speed/engine match up 40 urls/sec is it. Add more proxies and see if that makes a difference, if not then its your connection.
Cause if your connection is too slow and you set it to 500 connections, some will go thru and the rest will timeout and you will still only get what fits in your pipe. 4Mbit is decent, so you should be able to do well when working with the engines.
I run all 4 search engines at the same time no problem, but again it depends on your 4mbit conneciton and how many connections you are running to the engines.
In theory depending on your proxies and such you could definitely get less then ideal results. The single threaded harvester is accurate, but the multi threaded harvester, in the words of the developer (if I accurately recall a hundred pages back, lol) "is designed to rip the heart out of google and the other engines" meaning its going for over all volume and if the proxy fails past the retries set under settings it just moves on.
I don't think there is a right and wrong way to do it in regards to how many engines you use at once. Just try 1 and look at the results and then try 2 or all 4. If overall results are worse by using all 4 then 1 at a time for the same searches with the same proxies or no proxies then adapt to using 1 or 2 at a time. If your proxies are always accurate (private proxies) and your connection is fast enough then you should get the same results either way. Also you can try turning the over all connections down for each engine if your are using all 4, that will help accuracy if your internet connection is the issue.
You stopped each at 6000 results?
It could be that on 1 you removed duplicate urls and on the other you removed duplicate domains.
It could also be that with the 25 connections more of your connections timed out and therefor moved further down your keyword list thus resulting in more unique urls.
The accurate test would be to let both finish out completely and then compare results. Of course without proxies, your IP might get blocked first, but I have never really noticed anything like this. But when it comes to working with millions of urls, I am more concerned about over all volume.
That 1 million limit is the limit set by Microsoft for the grid that scrapebox uses for that element. All urls beyond 1 millon are stored in the harvester_sessions folder in your mail scrapebox folder. I have harvested 100million+ urls in 1 run.
Well so long as you don't violate the squid proxies TOS then there isn't anything you shouldn't do with it. I use my Your Private Proxy proxies for everything in scrapebox, bar nothing.
Now why do you have to go and make things simple? lol
I just multi quoted several people so nothing wrong with quoting on my end.
There is a dupe remove addon that will remove duplicate urls or duplicate domains for up to 180 million urls. You first use it to combine all files you want to remove duplicates from and then it will remove the dupes.
