are scrapebox's built in proxy sources mostly useless now?

It's been months since I ran the proxy harvester. I used to be able to get ~10-20 proxies after running the harvester, however the last two times I tried doing so it hasn't found any working proxies at all. Is that normal now?

Uh, I don't get as many as I used to either, but I think I come up with around 80 or so. I do have a few other sources. Ill try turning those off and see what it turns out

Edit: with just using the sb sources I only got 17 good proxies

I have several other sources that I pull from at the same time. I've noticed a big drop in proxies that pass lately. May very well be from the built in sources. Hopefully they come up with an alternative. I imagine there are just too many people on the system to sustain everyone.

lol well I get 100 - 200 when I harvest and test.
I then export to main list and retest again and maybe get half the original amount one more wash will get me about 25 decent proxies

Just harvested and tested. My results:

NOTE: Duplicates removed. (Originally 212)
Harvested: 4744
Working: 63
Time to test: 11:18 minutes
With other sources I usually get 500-1000 working proxies

And how can I make SB to perform faster?

I have not had any luck lately either. (don't want to use private proxies for scraping)
