GSA SER Doesn't Work Anymore
So, after the last update the program has completely stopped working. It was working great before, but now whenever I run it it starts out working and then it dwindles down to 1 thread within 30 seconds or so. I was using public proxies for a bit and having no issues at all until the recent update, but I've tried multiple proxies and even a direct connection and it does the same thing. Also, whenever I stop the project the status reads "waiting for threads to finish" and it never does.
I tried editing how many threads to use; no help. I'm not really sure what else to do now. Can I get some help?

in a matter of 9 hours I usually get 5000 submissions and now I got 203 ?!!
I am trying to see what else it might be but I suspect it has something to do with the last 2 updates
Note that my Thread count stays very high (200) for all this period
200 is the normal I am running for more than 30 days now
I got 90 submissions and 5 verification while
for last 10 hours running I got 200 and 36 verified
(just keeping track of what is going on not coming to any conclusions yet)
@Sven my log still shows the same as before. Nothing unusual, GSA still scrapes and blasts. Just often slacks at using the threads.
it seems for the last 4 hours 95% of the projects are doing verifications
isn't that too much verifiying ? it seems like its stuck on verifying.
stats for these 4 hours
~13 projects
130 submissions (I can do those in 5 minutes usually)
30 verifications
200 threads
18-40% CPU
400MB Mem
10 private proxies changed 2 days ago and tested that work correctly earlier and now
I have proxies for posting and PR checking only
with the new proxies I set timeout to 15 seconds but verification is not done using proxies
so staying in verification for too long should not be proxy related right ??
120 minutes verification interval is my custom setting on all project but this was done 2 weeks ago
I am going to try fast public proxies if it does not resolve in a while (2 sec timeout)
These changes might have altered why your in link checking mode a lot

when does a project turn to Pause ?
I did not get this part ...
(I have been away from the forums for some time actually)
could it be proxy related ?
and if it is then why when I stop/start SER it will do like 60-100 submission in 3 minutes
and then go back to verifiying ??
I have been testing the new method over night
The way mine is set up and working
Projects set to x amount per day then pause, hit the number then go in "active (pause)" mode
If you use the scheduler mode, this then moves onto the next project
Projects set to x amount of submissions and stop for x amount of minutes change to "active (v)erify" mode
What this does is verify links if that projects gets called again in the set time of pausing posting links.
So on a t2 for example, your getting confirmed links while its paused from posting and stops the t2 submitted lists getting out of hand
and all seemed to be working great until yesterday
what is your proxy timeout (assume private proxies?)
left target urls for all project is 4380 so verification should not happen
@Sven does it actually get paused ?
My html timeout is 130
But I have had several lock up today.
It seems to go into death mode when pulling sites from the sitelist
My last crash, was 2 lists from the site list every minute, then siesta time with no fiesta after
Gone back to using version 5.09
how do I go back to a previous version ?
@Sven
that does not answer my question really
because I as I already mentioned I keep on stopping/restarting to get it to do 50-100 more submissions
LeeG how do you downgrade to previous version ?
Older version will be in your main ser folder
Think its called something like search_engine_ranker_old
Now people know why you see three version links on my task bar
Current, Old and trusty
If you ever get a version that seems to run better than a race horse near an abattoir, just copy and paste that exe in the main gsa ser folder
does anyone have 5.11 version lying around ?
(fron now on I will make copies of all version before I upgrade)
I need to see if this resolves the STUCK in the VERIFICATION loop problem
I have been clearing down my submitted lists this week, one was at 70k
Looking at the lower screen, it seemed to be trying to verify links and only doing something like the first ten that needed email verification and not going past those.
Bit like a stuck record with a scratch
Also what does it mean when I delete " Target Url Cache " and Target URL History ' ?
