SharePro,
That is awesome. You have got some serious hardware. Is it even worth buying Xrumer and running on my server at home (Win Server 2008, 3GB Ram, 2.4 Intel Dual Core) that has 6mb DSL? Will I get any kind of acceptable results?
Thanks,

There is a major difference between DSL accounts and a server sitting directly on the international backbone.
Comparing - Dsl vs. Dedicated
In most cases, you have a telephone or cable company connecting you to your ISP, which in effect means your being charged by both cable/phone company and ISP. That alone costs between $40-$100 depending on where you are at. Let's say it's $60 a month for the purpose of conversation without mentioning the type of service or the electricity.
--> But please read on cause I will help you make a rational decision to determine value based on some simply technical networking facts.
When you buy 6mb's of DSL download, the bandwith is not pure dedicated bandwith, rather "statistical" bandwith. Both the phone/cable and ISP companies have your account in a "pool" of other accounts meaning that your sharing the bandwith.
Why my Hosting is Superior
Now let me explain the difference between my servers. They sit inside of the ISP on an
international fiber optic backbone which is far faster than most ISP connections that are not directly connected to an international backbone. I guess its the difference between a local and international airport. All ISP's connect to somebody who has a international gateway, but not all ISP's have their own international gateway connecting to the physical international lines - Which means there are many "hops" or "gateway routers" that must be passed to reach the international lines.
But that's just one problem. On a DSL line, when your using applicational software that requires multiple threads, you will notice that if you open up one thread, you get great speed. But open up multiple threads and your speeds drop. On a dedicated server with good bandwith, each session receives superior bandwith.
Notice in the picture that I posted there is a log demonstrating the server has done 40Gb's of download in a day. Can your DSL Account download 80 hollywood films in 1 day? The average hollywood film like "Top Gun" is about 500mb's.
Notice I didnt mention the electricity is expensive when running an advanced server 24/7.
So paying $220 for a great server with superior bandwith and not having the costs, noise or electrical bills to run the server is far cheaper and more productive than running it from your home
What do you do for proxy service? Can you use something like IPRental.com?
I don't personally use proxys on my own network cause I don't have to. Remember, I own the ISP which means I have multiple IP's dedicated to my network that I can alternate
Remember, if you do a WHOIS for the IP address in the PICTURE I posted above ( 212.235.92.173) you will notice my name Daniel and my email in the results http://whois.domaintools.com/212.235.92.173
If my customers request, I switch their IP as often as twice a month for free. Xrumer can be configured to use a proxy only if the regular posting method doesnt work. There are many free proxy systems out there.
Note: Using your own DSL account often can get you banned from your ISP specifically because when the complaints come in, most ISP's dont make the difference between forum promotion (which is legal) and email spamming (which is illegal in the US and most of Europe).
I dont ban my hosting customers for posting promotional or personal thoughts on forums and Im smart enough to make the difference
I think it is great that you have put together a video for Xrumer, but do the creators not have any type of training at all?
Alex (Botmaster) is a good friend who often sends me clients. Actually, the relationship is both ways as I am one of his largest providers of clients - specifically because most of his clients are in fact my clients.
Unfortunately, Alex's customer service doesn't include teaching people how to use the software. My 2 hour movie has been a big success specifically because he doesn't focus on teaching or explaining the uses of the software.
Finally, if your interested in learning more about Xrumer, please note that my 11 page Xrumer thread is the most popular thread on BHW. Alex also has written stuff on my thread. http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/buy-sell-services/27106-xrumer-service-post-msgs-millions-forums-worldwide-traffic-sales-backlinks-10.html
