Just FYI, people running this on linux / mac, you need python 2.6 (included on OS X 10.6, free download for 10.5). "python --version" tells you what version you're running, I'm happy to guide people who are unsure. Recent purchases delivered :)
 


Anyone else running this on Windows 7 and after about an hour getting weird resource spikes?

Any thoughts mattseh?
 
Author just sent it to me, works fine on W7. More options such as GEOIP would be nice, but I can do that myself. Thanks! Defn worth the $25 :)
 
what resource? cpu? ram? I've run it for days without problem, how many threads are you using?
Was running the default proxythreads=100 monitorthreads=5. As for what resource, I'd have to go with ram. It's the only thing that makes any sense. My rig is no slouch either. Will decrease the number of threads and report back.
 
looks great so far, but I have a few questions.

I've been running it for the past several hours (at 50 threads) and it seems to be fluctuating a lot every time it states the working proxies. It's basically been staying at around 50-70 working proxies for the past several hours (although yesterday at one point it was up to 90). Is this basically what everyone else is getting, or have most of you added additional sources?

The more threads you run the more you'll get and the more it'll fluctuate. Running 100 threads with 5 listeners I get anywhere from 25 - 450. But for the most part seems to hang around the 100 mark or so.
 
I'm running it on a VPS with 200 threads, default sources, getting a constant ~200. You'll only need more than a few source monitors if you have lots of sources. I intend to package up a few tweaks as soon as I find the time into a minor release, hopefully within a few days.
 
in pseudo code: grab proxies.txt contants, do a POST to a url. I'm implementing callback functionality right now though, so probably easier to just wait a while :)
 
Ok, v3 testing version:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2326797/PFV3.zip

(still needs to be licensed)

it now does additional checks to strip out planetlab and codeen proxies.
few new config.txt options:

callbackurl: every time it updates, it'll do a callback to a url of your choice, proxies can be accessed in PHP via $_POST['proxies'].

proxystaleseconds is the max number of seconds it will look back in time to find working proxies, so seconds since last check. Increasing this will increase the size of your proxy list, but if your proxies are unstable, you'll be getting more dead proxies in your proxies.txt.
 
Installed & works like a charm. In 10 minutes, I made a system so that I'm posting to php/sql so my scripts have access to anon proxies. Love it!

It's a cpu & internet hog on my main computer (win7). I'm about to install it on my ubuntu that just downloads shit for me all day ... any issues with the license on 2 machines since it's tied to a single paypal?
 
Sorry to triple post .. but this program is stupid simple to use.

I had no issues with licenses ... in fact, to transfer to my ubuntu box all I did was copy the files to my ext. hard drive and then open the right file on ubuntu. After about 30 minutes of it running I've got 200 working anon proxies (and growing) out of a 19k list.

Fucking awesome Matt ... would pay 3x your cost for this product. Great work!

Suggestion: Timeout thresholds would be nice ... like if the proxy doesn't work in < x seconds don't include it in the list.
