ProxyFinder

Hey Matt,

Can you give a detailed explanation about these?

#proxyfinder config
proxythreads=100
monitorthreads=5
minutesperupdate=2
outputpath=proxies.txt
callbackurl=yourcallbackurl
proxystaleseconds=600
proxytimeout=10

I've been using the default values, but I would like to know what values you recommend for each and stuff like that. My source list is currently around 10k, and I'm running PF from my home PC (strong specs though).

Sorry for being a noob, but thanks.

Ok, so I changed the config.txt file (on mattseh's advice) to proxythreads=40 and got 13 proxies returned. If you are getting 0 proxies returned, play with some of the settings in the config.txt file. Depending on your connection, it may need to be adjusted.

+rep for this, working way better
 
I'm running this on a Win 7 box with decent res cable speeds.

My config file ended up looking like this:
Code: 
#proxyfinder config
proxythreads=300
monitorthreads=200
minutesperupdate=15
outputpath=proxies.txt
email=myemailaddy
callbackurl=yourcallbackurl
proxystaleseconds=600
proxytimeout=15
With those settings I can get about 35-40 results per run. However, it overwrites the file on each pass instead of appending or creating sequential file names ie; proxies(*).txt, so no matter how long I let it run I will have less than 40 proxies when I come back to it unless I manually create a new txt at the end of each run.

I did 4 runs today and got 116 proxies when combined but all of them fail due to being pulled from free public proxy sites where the servers are quickly raped or borderline DoS'd

I guess if I ever find a decent sub for daily proxies I can use this to fetch them for me ...

LOL; of course they failed; public proxies work like that and this is precisely what PF was designed to do exactly what it does... Get you the working ones, AND ONLY THE WORKING ONES, in a text file for immediate use at all times.

Most ppl just leave PF running in the background or on a cheapo network-attached computer 24/7/365 and it ensures we always have some fresh proxies that are live for other apps I run to use from.
 
@ lukep - yeah, I let it run all day and started getting some dumps with 60+ in the list, which isn't bad considering, and I also noticed that when testing the proxies in sb they fail but if I keep that list loaded anyway it looks like about 50-60% did work when pinging and scraping about 600 urls earlier

I guess I was just hoping for a bigger list but I'm already getting more than I paid for with PF - all things considered

Thanks Matt
 
Matt, I cannot PM yet. Sent payment and an email to your paypal email. Please send download. Thanks!

PF works extremely well in conjunction with SB. I use PF for initial finding proxies, then paste into SB and test with Google unchecked. It removes a handful and then copy those to main list. Off we go. Have gotten so much done with SB today using this method.

Thanks!
