ok first i wanna thank the owner of scrape box for the copy i was given tonight .. hopefully when she comes back online we can resolve the link problem. second i wana thank gregstereo for spennding 6hrs in voice chat with me on yahoo.. i may not use tools but the scrape box tester is allowing me now to post scrape box proxies in my forum for vip users as of now. first thing..scrape box testing is rather slow to increase this change these options open scrapebox ini file edit the following for faster leeching and testing Threads=300 ProxyHarvester=200 this will increase the speed it leeches and will test proxies alot faster.. time out default is 30 seconds imagine testing say 10k proxies where 7k are timed out - that means 7000 proxies each being re-tested for 30 seconds each. advise set it lower alot lower TimeOut= use between 3-5. to lessen test time. this next part only effects using socks proxies only now if u use the internal leech option u will see if u saved any proxies back to the main window after testing all the socks back in the main windows list will look like this S76.124.88.161:6715 S68.46.19.168:6830 S216.196.224.23:8091 S68.42.227.230:8176 S67.81.179.106:8719 S67.165.59.30:8837 when u import your leeched and tested proxies back to the main window all socks will have a capital S at the start of each port number. why is this important - because if you take a list of socks say from a post u might find and just load them into your main programe window to run without testing they will look like this and will not work 76.124.88.161:6715 68.46.19.168:6830 216.196.224.23:8091 68.42.227.230:8176 67.81.179.106:8719 67.165.59.30:8837 the point being leeched lists checked and tested and sent back to the main window carry the capital S... a socks list loaded into the main programme window without testing and try to use, all socks will fail.. as of now proxiecentral now has a new scrape box category for all VIP members.. hope these tips help... sample of my own proxies i test in scrape box tonight.. all the lists posted in my forum are mixed lists of socks and anon proxies, so to get the socks in the list to work u must re-test the whole list then send it back to main windows or the socks will fail if you try loading them directly into the main window then only the anon proxies will work as the capital S will be gone. regards proxygo
I wasnt aware that SB had a config file Do you mean the scrapebox.ini file? I thought all the settings were available from the gui. (Well, the most important) Which file (by name) are you refering to? jaybird
If you have the internet pipeline to run full throttle, these tweaks are well worth it. The proxy tester screams after tweaking it.
when u open scrape box folder it has the file called scrapebox - not the exe file in here u can alter threads -time out - change these it will work faster me and rgrgstereo just spent 7 hrs on yahoo trying it Threads=300 Proxy Harvester=200 Time Out=2 no more waging 30-40mind for a tets rguards proxygo
thanks for the tip have defiinitely increase my harvesting but not sure about the s infront of sock proxies. Are you saying we need to make a change to make that happen?
Depends. If you run proxies thru the ScrapeBox Proxy Tester, then transfer the tested proxies to the main window, SB pre-pends the "S" to any proxies that it detects are SOCKS proxies. And they work. If you just throw SOCKS proxies into the main SB window in the format: IPort without an "S" at the start, SOCKS proxies won't work in SB. And if you have proxies you know to be SOCKS proxies, you can add the "S" manually in the ScrapeBox "Select Engines & Proxies" box in the main window. Capiche?
socks that are tested from the internal leecher then sent back to the main programme so use have the S at the start of each sock. it tells the programme there is usuable socks in the list. ok so here was have a few socks collected from the leecher i removed all anon proxies to make the point socks tested , dead removed now when the socks proxies are sent back to the main programme look at how the programme shows them listed. each sock has the letter S at the start of each port - this format means they will run. see pic below. if how ever u deciede to grab a list of socks from a post somewhere and not test them but just throw them in the main window to use you will see the capital S is gone and any attempt to run them will fail see pic put simple if u have a list of socks or a list of anon proxies/socks never just throw them in the main window to use as all socks will fail.. send any imported liste to the proxy checker then after u have tested them send them back to the main window so that the programme applys ths S to the socks in the list.. understand? other wise your loosing the ability run using socks and only anon will work from the sent back list finaly which file to edit the settings for faster leeching and testing - the one marked in blue Threads=300 ProxyHarvester=200 TimeOut=2 proxie leecher speed increase 225% proxie tester test increases by 28 seconds per proxie if u have no idea about editing only change thoes 3
final test was to inport 20k mixed proxies anon socks thrown in the tester..20k on default settings would take about 2hrs.. with new text edited settings list loaded leached from 669 sources . note - while loading a list that large dont touch the mouse - or the programme will fail to respond and crash. loaded ammount = 20k time taken = 29mins working = 660 this was without me adding my socks into the test list
also im seeing a lot of people saying my tweaks dont work there getting no working proxies..well read and learn.. heres why.. as a proxy supplier of 5 yrs the answer is simple as to why why when u leech is the proxie count low.. lets say scrape box has sold 500 coppies [ example ] thats 500 people all leeching the same proxies from the same 5 leech links. no offence what do u expect. all the links being leeches are being leeched from forums that require no login hence why the programme can leech them.. if the users in those 5 forums don't post many proxies - when you people go to leech your proxie count will be low - but that should be obvious for leeching free proxies this next comment is not a spam its a point , in my forum there are no proxies posted in the free members area for scrape box..why?.. becuse every noobie would login - log out byby.. and the proxies get hammered by 1000 account holders with 0 post... all my proxies for s-box are kept in the vip part of my forum for 1 good reason.. less people using them the longer they last [ less shared ] so does that asnwere why the leech in s-box will have bad days? people no post - u get no proxies to leech. am i qualified to say this? i think so i no how leeching tools work tools such as fpl - and proxy fire of whom i no the makers quite well use the same effect if the source links dont update your only leeching the same proxies over and over so back to the start the tweaks work fine Threads=300 ProxyHarvester=200 TimeOut=2 blame the proxies being leeched.. if the settings were incorect jammo couldnt leech 20k proxies from 667 sources and get almost 700 proxies working..why so many..u dont have these sources..less used = more alive. __________________
works for me and other who have tried it fine 95% reason your proxies fail is if your using the internal leecher...dont... everyone who bought scrape is using the 5 channle scrape leecher hundred of people all tryint to use the same proxies.. figure it ... it wont work.. to many people use thoes in built proxies.. the remedy is so simple find a source of proxies people arnt using or posting...problem solved oh and the tweaks work fin just finished testing some your problem isnt the tweaks you need to find proxies yourself a proxie source trust me ive sold proxies 5 yrs - once u start loading in your own lists...u will smile..so i throw a bone u can sniff around while looking
I still don't get better result, I have idea: can you make a video or can you upload scrapebox.ini on here so we can dowload and update it ? thanks!
TimeOut=2 comes into play by the following rule the higher the time out the longer it takes to re-test timmed out proxies.... because i imported proxie lists to test in the scrape box proxie tester , using default time out 30 would criple me to test say 20k proxies.. so for me by setting a low time out - i only get quick returns on fast proxies anything over 2 seconds fails...jammo no like slow proxies in his list.. hmmm video i can try how can i record what i do i do proxies - not block buster videos as for slow proxies 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.. what i have noticed is proxies leeched internal have a msn time average of 1000 upto 20,000 + hence slow. by importing own lists of lesser used proxies ms times for me vary 100+ = faster response = faster posting [VIVA LA FAST PROXIE] my ini file http://www.2shared.com/file/11611084/a7166a86/scrapebox.html and if anyone posts i cant find the download button on that page im retiring

I dowloaded the ini file , and I can say that : it worked . thanks for sharing the tips and the file. Because in the ini file, there are two "ProxyHarvester" sections. I changed the first . but in your file, you changed the second it worked for me and get supper fast result thanks you again!
thanks mate i said it did but people didnt believe me .. i mastered the proxie part of the tool in 48hrs +ini file .. its not hard
