Hi,
I'm a first time user of this great tool SB. I bought the Article Scrape Addon a few years ago and back in time the problem I had was it freezed after a few thousands scapes, and you couldn't do anything but kill the program from the windows task manager, losing all your data.
Today I fired it up again for a new project, after not touching it for many years, but I still get the same issue.

I am using the last version of the plugin, with the last SB V2.1.0.38 BETA version. I don't think the beta version is the culprit here, since it's the same issue as before.
Back in time I contacted the support explaining everything but nothing came out of it.

You can't click on Stop, can't do anything. And if you want to anticipate and click on Stop while the tool is still running fine, it freezes too...
For it to work, you have to scrape only a few thousands data, not tens of thousands, which makes it a bit useless for big scrapes of hundred of thousands fields.
At least it would be could to be able to retrieve the data after the crash.

Am I the only user of this plugin or what? Nobody had this issue in years ?
Thanks for any help
 
ok I guess I am the only one user then :D
 
What have you tried to get around it? It does it on different PCs? Are they all native Windows or are you using a VM?

thanks for your help mate. I tried what common sense would allow to try : reinstalling SB, rebooting Windows (no VM here). The only workaround is to lower the amount of urls to scrape from, which defeat the purpose of this addon which is supposed to scrape in bulk, and that's why I bought it in the first place.
I think it has a memory leak problem or something like this, after a while it kind of saturates its memory and it freezes. I wish it was solved after all these years.
