Scrapebox taking 18+ hours on small tasks?

I've got scrapebox installed newly on an i5 quad. 4 gigs of ram, no viruses and a 25mb download / 3 up.

WHY is it taking 18+ hours to scrape 30k sites. It had taken about 4-5 hours to check a list of 800 proxies.

Apparently this isn't normal. Why is it so slow? We have nothing in the background eating up our bandwidth. There are no other applications running.

Depends where you scrape your proxies from. But bad proxies does make SB run slow and with a low success rate as well.

Buy private proxies !
