gsa ser at 1000 threads
hi guys,
i got a spare mean machine which is capable of running gsa ser at 1000 threads (i have big lists to load). my internet isnt a problem too.
i was wondering how many proxies should i have to support this?
or if 1000 isnt a good number, was wondering whats the max i can go? will be great if you can share wats the max thread you push gsa ser to.

Max I've used is 2000 for a couple of months.
Thing is, it's a vicious circle, if you increase the number of threads, you're going to need to increase your HTML timeout to at least 60 - 120 seconds, I don't care how much throughput you have in your connection, if a connection attempts to open and load 1000 or 2000 browsers, there is going to be lag, which means if your HTML timeout is set too low, you're going to be skipping alot of targets due to potential false positive timeouts.
You need to find a good balance between HTML timeouts and threads used, running at such a high amount of threads doesn't yield that much of a difference at the end of the day, not to mention the cost of proxies that would be needed to run this sort of set up, only if you use proxies that is.
