I just ran a large list some of which I got from here others I got from elsewhere on then net some dated as released as today.
All of them came back as bad....
Is there any point in searching out free proxies in this day and age seeing as a lot more people know about the usefulness of them?
Is it not much simpler to buy some shared ones on a Monthly plan or other?
Not kocking Charon or the work put in by the originator(s) of this thread but BH these days is results balanced against time. All the time you are putting in searching out free proxy's is time wasted in pursuing more worthwhile projects, particulary when you can pick up low cost ones?
To be honest if I want a movie or a piece of commercial software (most of the stuff we use doesn't appear there) I go to Newzbin and get the nzb file.I know I will get what I am after and with minimal resources in tracking it down.
On that basis I am happy to pay Newzbin a modest fee in being allowed access to their NZB search engines.
Isn't it time to face up to the best all round solution, even though it may not be free?
I don't have to pay Newzbin and I could go into usenet and look for what I need but again it is time and resources.
Isn't it time we faced up to the same strategy with proxies?
Views appreciated..
