Hi bob, thanks for your feedback. I repeated your actions and clicked Proxy Type, then clicked Proxies for No Hands SEO, and the image to the left of the option actually does become "checked". Try looking at it again.
okay yes i do see that, but how come when i select "proxies for no hands seo (must be anonymous or better)" it automatically selects "anonymous proxies ONLY" for me under general? doesnt that option exclude elites?
With regards to low numbers of working proxies, it is either a configuration issue or a network issue.
Click Configuration -> Country filtering. Do you have country filtering enabled? Too strict of settings will limit your proxy finding. Proxies from certain countries are fairly rare and shouldn't be expected reliably (e.g. Brazil, Lithuania, Czech, etc).
I dont have any country filtering enabled.
Look at the Configuration -> General screen. If the number of threads is beyond what your internet connection can accommodate, the proxies will falsely test as not working.
it was set at 45 by default. if my computer couldnt handle the 45 would it still be able to retrieve those 18,000+ proxies? im changing it to 30 now to see if that will help
Next examine security settings on your PC. Do you have an anti-virus installed? Many times they contain network related features as well. Either whitelist Proxy Multiply or disable them. Repeat the same steps for your firewall.
i dont have any anti virus or firewall enabled for this software...
*EDIT this program is still not working correctly for me
my current new settings are as follows.
Appplication specific:
*proxy for no hands seo
general:
*transparent proxies only/ elite proxies only (it auto selected these for me)
website specific:
*proxies for all websites
speed:
*medium or better
ive also reduced my thread count from 45 to 30
Results: it fetches about 8,000 proxies in a matter of seconds, within the next few minutes it continues to build its proxy list up to about 15,000
then a few good proxies are filtered as green and then for the next hour or so the 15,000 # just starts declining and going down until im left with "19" good proxies.
i then went and tested those 19 proxies and it deleted all of them! now im left with 0
**edit edit** - i tried adjusting the proxy type to proxies for all purposes. this time it left me with 2,000 working proxies. i went and tested those proxies and again everything depleted back down to 0.
these proxies seem to have a shelf life of a couple seconds. what is going on?
i thought this softwar would get me hundreds if not thousands of working proxies but it cant even get me 1!
do you have skype? i really need to get this program up and running.
