like greg said depends in your net speed
some people dont like working proxies in there list that
will take 10 seconds+ to complete a task.
i was given the tool by the kind maker on saturday.
for the last 3 days i have spent many hrs in yahoo voice
chat with greg trying to tweak the ini to make it faster.
so for me with a 20 meg connection using time out of 2
using the programmes internal leecher im still picking up
around 2-300 good proxies.. very slow... but good...
but thoes speed tweaks wont work for everyone...
but for thoes it will it cuts the time u will spend testing
proxies by along way.. i no from greg he was having trouble
tetsing 10k proxies on default in under 45mins
i went through the ini file tweaked it..i used my own private
leecher and leached 60k proxies...filtered out some rubbish so
the list was down to 40k.... that list was then imported into
the scrape box proxy tester - the test ran aprox 29mins.
in default that would have taken 2-4hrs.. and it returned
680 good proxies..
the best advice i can give is this, the 5 leech sources in s-box
are ok for thoes who want free proxies - but remember that is a free option and
the proxies will be slow because many other s-box users are all
using the same 5 links as well as u.. hence the word burning them
fast...
this is the reason i choose to use a proxy leecher with 999 source
locations not available in the programme....proxies imported that
have been used alot less = better ms time - longer life -
it just amazes me when people are saying the pre-loaded proxies
in s-box dont always work again that answer is simple.
the 5 leech sources all pull proxies from open source websites
requiring no login, this means the scraper is grabbing proxies
from 5 sites requiring no authentication login, bare that in mind
if the people on thoes sites dont post regular proxies, when you
people attempt to leech - you will be leeching the same old proxies.
thats why im glad for the proxie tester in s-box because it allows me to
import the proxies from 999 scraped sources + test private proxies
to make up good lists for my forum users..
so if u have a fast connection time out2 will work great and save u time
if u have a slower connection - dont use it
and final though - as the tool grows in popularity users will have to seek
imported source of proxies because there will reach a point the people
owning s-box will out strip the proxies u can leech from within it to work.
its already reached saturation point already only so many thing hundreds
of people can do scraping proxies from 5 internal sources.
and conisdering the tool itself is worth 100$+ let alone the 56$ the lady
charges it makes me laugh people wont go look for proxies..
