Thanks for the reply. I see, I have tried a few different days now with new lists of public proxies that Scrapebox test and say are anonymous and Google passed, but always the same result. I'm guessing then if I want to be able to use something like number search range in my keyword I'm going to need to buy private or shared proxies.
I would recommend some shared/private proxies, yes. With google so tight, public proxies that work with operators are hard to find. That or you could use your own IP and set it to a random delay between 45 sec and 1 min and that would "probably" work although it would be slow, but if you let it run while you sleep it probably isn't so bad if your not doing a lot.
is there any way to load custom footprints on the platform which is at the top/header left.There is currently 33 built in footprint. It would be very good thing
What are you asking exactly, I don't understand? You can put whatever footprints you want in the keywords box and/or in the box next to the M. If you want that drop down for the box next to the M key to have your footprints you can put them there 1 by 1 and it auto saves them, or you can shut down scrapebox and go into your configuration folder, which is in your scrapebox folder - and then edit your footprints.ini file. Make a backup copy first in case you malformat it and it causes issues.
Anyone else get practically no results when harvesting using proxies? I'm harvesting from all SE's and I got over 500+ proxies I have a keyword list of half a million and the shit always keeps giving errors and when I press stop it doesn't stop.
No it works fine for me. I have instances running 24/7/365 and its all good. Its your proxies, 99.9999% chance. Get some better proxies, or try private/shared. If using bing and it freezes, then go to settings and tick off to use the custom harvester. It has more engines anyway and bing won't cause a freeze.

Your welcome mate! Sorry if Im responding slow, my wife and baby are sick, middle child is getting sick and Im trying to not get sick. Not to mention its been an deep freeze here in Indiana the past few days. -11F etc...
I want to request a feature for scrapebox. Can you guys update the maximum link count from 1M to 10M . Gscraper allows 10M link in the harvest window. For me, i especially need 10M links mainly on the addons like malware filter, blog analyzer and page scanner.
Every time, i collect 5M-6M links, i need to split the links and check one by one which is very time consuming. So, this feature will be great if you guys can add it.
Firstly the grid in scrapebox that is limited to 1M urls is a Microsoft grid. Scrapebox did not design that exact element, they are simply using a grid that is made by microsoft. Microsoft limits it to 1M, so nothing SB can do about it.
Second you can use the Dupe Remove addon to combine files. So you can combine your 6 chunks of 1 million files into 1.
Third, if you try and load 6Milion urls into any one of the addons, you might as well shoot your self in the foot, because its the same thing. Its going to crash from out of memory errors. Almost 100% of what is done in scrapebox and addons is done in memory and its a 32bit app, with 1.8GB max memory, and it just can't handle dealing with gathering data on 6 million urls.
Hey loopline, do you know why AOL Search isn't working?
I just realized it hasn't worked since I purchased Scrapebox.
I just never really focused on it.
Do you have the same error?
Thank you as always
AOL in the multi harvester isn't working and they aren't going to fix it. The reason is that its hard coded in and every time that they fix it, AOL does something to break it in just a few days. Someone at AOL doesn't like SB users scraping their data, lol. However you can use the custom harvester to scrape AOL. Just go to settings >> use custom harvester - and check this off.
The nice thing about that is its customizable, so if AOL breaks it, you as the user can fix it, and SB can simply release a new engine file update rather then having to compile an entire new Scrapebox update.
Besides that you get over 20 engines with the custom harvester:
