Scrapebox doesnt work? (Harvester)

How many threads are you allowed for proxy rack?

I do not think the total number of keywords has anything to do with it. The total number of connections generated because of the keywords could be an issue.

Make sure Scrapebox is white listed in all security software. It stops for me fine when Im running a fair bit of connections, and I loaded in 300K+ keywords, and it starts humming along immediately scraping results.

The not responding to the stop suggests at least 1 thread, if not more is locked. This doesn't happen for me, it stops immediately. So it could be that something is hijacking the connections when you have a lot of connections.

So follow me here, you load in a lot of keywords, which lets scrapebox take full advantage of the connections. Which looks like a virus, so some 3rd party program stops it. Each update has its own md5 hash so it can literally be seen as entire new program. Or if a security software updated, it could now not like Scrapebox.

Because if the ips are blocked and connections are getting thru to the proxies and ultimately to google, and they come back as blocked, your error count goes up. But if error count insnt' increasing, the request is never making it to google and back. Its unlikley its being stopped on the way back, so typically its either the proxy not passing it on, or something hijacking the connections before they make it to the proxy.

So try this test, load in all the keywords and footprints you want, just like normal. But set connections to 1 or you can try 2. Does it work differently?

As Loopline mentioned here:



The problem is quite likely your security software, there was someone someone last night who had the same problem and he's just emailed to say "When I disabled my antivirus it solved the problem."

I've asked him what security software he's running, but give that a try and whitelist ScrapeBox in your security software.

Its working with one thread only. So I guess theres a program, how you said, blocking many simultan connections.
But I have no program/antivir/security software installed. Can I whitelist scrapebox for everything without searching and uninstall the program which makes the problem?


Edit1: I got no security programs installed and I turned off Windows Defender. Problem is still there.

So I deleted EVERY windows defender shit and lenovo crrap and restored to the version before. Scrapebox is now working perfect for me, like it did in the past. But I don't get why it did not with the new version, I guess the version is kinda buggy for windows 8. Now I get like 150 urls/s again. Nice nice nice! Hustling like 12 hours to run this crap, I am so happy right now. But please check this new update, theres an issue.
 
The thing about some security software is that even when you "disable" it it only stops new rules from forming but existing rules still fire. So sometimes whitelisting it is better then disabling it.

At the end of the day if it works it works.

Do some harvesting and when your caught up I would try a test, download another copy of the new version. Don't update the existing one just download a new one to a new folder on your desktop. Unzip it and run it. Does it now work?

You can run an unlimited number of instances of Scrapebox at once, from all different versions with no issues. So this could be a good test without having to mess up what you have. But you might wait until your caught up a small bit incase whatever is causing the problem starts blocking the new version and then the old as well again.

It could be your router as well. You could try to whitelist in your router, or bypass it and connect direct or a with a mobile dongle, or it sounds like you have a laptop so you could try taking it to a friends house etc..

I don't think there is any issue with the new version, I have a dozen servers and I run high connections like you harvesting and I can't get it to fail at all. Its hums along better then ever actually.
