What's it used for? (see image attached)

Hi,

I would like to know what is the function of this options.

I'm having my private proxies banned very fast by Google when scrapping and I would like to know if changing them I could fix the problem. (custom time between queries I have 60 sec)

Thanks!

This is the threads that the proxies use. The higher you set them, the faster proxies are checked and scraped - set it higher if you're abusing public proxies and need lots of results in a short amount of time.

If not (I see you're using private and public), you can just leave it as default. Timeout is kind of confusing for me, I think it's the amount of time a proxy must respond to be counted as alive.

Thanks for responding @zero

That threads is only for checking and scraping proxies? They has nothing to do with search engines?

That tab only controls proxies (you can verify this by going to options, and clicking configure - it's by the proxies. I think it also gives information if you hover over it, don't quote me on that though.

Yes the options are just for testing proxies (timeout/threads) and for scrapping new proxies (threads).
