New versions and lower VpM
in Bugs
It was everything running fast 4 days ago and this 2 last versions makes my GSA SER start running slow.
Anybody else feel the same problem?

Even if the LPM/VPM have increased, the log it's always full of errors.
If before every 10 lines 8 were :"download failed (Aborted)"
now most of messages reports:"download failed (Return: -, SockError: Connection refused)"
And I have the same proxies and lists of before.
Trevor, I just tried what you suggested, and.... :-O :-O
I just discovered that ALL my 40 private proxies are banned from some websites!
After Google, I tried using some specific spam-detector websites and, while by this site:
http://www.stopforumspam.com/ipcheck/ + IP
I've found "just" 50% of my proxies banned, using this other site:
http://cleantalk.org/blacklists/ + IP
I discovered that ALL my 40 private proxies are banned by the websites that are using that antispam plugin.
What I don't understand is why on the list of the emails that are using my IP there are some emails not of mine... now I will write to my proxy provider to see how it's possible if my proxies are private and not shared.
Other news: some proxies are banned BEFORE I got them, so this months I got "fresh" proxies that another user has burnt the last month X(
I also see that each IP is connected to an email, now I try to change the emails with new one, just to see if I get the same "SockError: Connection refused"
No Trevor, what you just wrote here it can be referred to the last part of my post (Other news: some proxies are banned BEFORE I got them....), and I know it can happen.
But what I don't understand is why same (private) proxies are banned just few days ago using gmail.com and mail.ru accounts that I never used with Ser. I just wrote to my proxy provider, I'm waiting his reply.

No Tim, I'm using 40 private proxies only from Mexela
I think Mexela proxies are still pretty good, but I agree with you that probably the quality is slowly dropping.
The problem I think it's exactly the same as buyproxies, too many SER users are using them. And the more they become popular in this forum, the more their quality drop... (same users spams the same websites, so the IP will be blocked faster)
There are many people on these forums purchasing and using the same sitelists over and over lol, also the proxy providers are simply switching proxies between users each month...
As peterperseo said earlier, same users spam the same websites, with the same IPs.
Perhaps we need to branch out and test other proxy providers and also bulletproof VPS machines that aren't spammed to death by us all.
Also proxies are must for recaptcha targets and most valuable targets have recaptcha. Bulletproof server and no proxies = you wont be able to post to most valuable targets.
Why would you or anyone else require a fully dedicated server to run SER for? You can happily run SER at minimum 500 threads on a $50 vps, I have a few of these vps and they are bulletproof, yes, at $50 a pop, amazing no? You should look around for VPS providers matey because if you're spending $200 a pop for a dedi simply for its' bulletproof properties, then you are getting ripped off.
But the main issue here is the proxies being shared and switched amoungst SER users each month and the majority of these users are also purchasing lists from the same list sellers, which does not help the matter, personally, a proxy service can not use the lame excuse of not having enough IPs available so they rotate them between SEO users each month... you may aswell start scanning your own ip/ports instead.
I don't think $200 is a lot of money but I do think it's a wasted amount of money if spent on 1 dedicated server for 1 SER install.
A bulletproof host is a bulletproof host, if it's not bulletproof, then it's not bulletproof, I don't quite understand your concept of a bulletproof host "not bulletproof for real".. each to their own.
I've not come across hostamus, so I can't comment if their bulletproof or not but I do know that mine are and I'm quite happy, sure, you could save yourself the odd $40-50 by purchasing your own dedi and splitting it up yourself, but is there a point when you can have it set up for you ready to go? I can understand if you want to get the most value out of your buck but $40-$50 dollars per month is hardly going to stretch the budget when the rest of your outgoings are in the regions of $1000's.
Anyway, this is a pointless battle going back and forth.
The reason for low vpm and verifieds is due to the harem of proxies being shared and the same targets being sold as "premium lists", you can't beat it, other than scraping your own targets, keeping your lists safe and obtaining a decent unspammed proxy service alongside a good recaptcha OCR service if required.
