Proxies banned??

I have 20 private proxies from newipnow.com and am trying to use them with a run of GSA on a windoze machine, quad core 2.2Ghz, fast cable connection, nothing else happening on the computer. About 3-4 projects running with max threads specified at 6 which I thought was very reasonable. But after running for a couple hours, sometimes less, I find that all the proxies have been banned. Wth?

    I have mentioned this a few times before, many times when you see the Proxy Banned message, SER is mistaking that for no results being given for the selected query.

    Double click on the search query in SER and that will take you to the search results page, if you see no results being given, the ban message is not true. However, if you do see results, then most likely, your proxy is banned.

    Hope that @Sven can somehow find a fix for this. I'm sure he's going crazy with everyone posting about proxy bans, when in reality, 50% are not true and proxies are not banned.

    well you have to watch the log carefully. If it says "might be blocked" it is maybe not the case but what  @Trevor_Bandura said, else it is almost for sure a block.

    In reading further, I guess I should not be using private proxies for EVERYTHING as I was doing? Some have said to only use private proxies for POSTING, others have said PR checking and POSTING, others have said something else, so what is recommended?

    Also, when I changed it to use public proxies for some things, and then I checked on it to see why it was consuming almost 100% of my computer resources, I found that it was checking more than 5800 public proxies it had found, where I shouldn't need even as much as one-twentieth of that many. Is there a way to tell GSA to just get as many public proxies as it needs, not gazillions of them?

    testing 5800 public proxies is nothing. how many of them were working after testing? 50? how many lasted longer than 3 hours? 5?

    also check the threads that are used for proxy testing. you might want to decrease that to lower your cpu usage when you have that issue.

    aha, i did not notice that there was a separate threads setting for the proxy stuff, that was at the default which was way too high if not using a dedicated machine. thx.
