Stop/Resume Option for "Search Site Lists"

Bytefaker

I'm really often using "Search Site Lists". My Problem is that when an update is dropped out, I've to wait till it's finished - what can take sometimes days. I know there is a "Pause" Button. But as far as I could see there isn't any option to resume after a restart of SER. Is it possible that harvesting/searching site lists can stopped and resumed (for example after a restart)?

not possible for now

Don't want to go on your nerves, but what's the reason why this isn't possible? (Isn't it possible to generate a list of querys which should be done before it starts and delete every query which was done from this list?)

I would imagine its because this option does not have any kind of existing logging built in, so to add a save/restore would require adding all sorts of code to something that isnt used a great deal by people apart from you and me!

A future path may be to hive off all the search online... options into a separate program (gsa SearchEngineScraper) which would give a number of advantages.

For now i just have 1 copy that is pretty much used only for searching for sitelists/scraping or sorting SB scrapes into site lists, so im not in a hurry to update it.

I have the sitelists saved to a dropbox folder so they can be accessed from the other servers.

Thanks for your input m3ownz. This is really might be the reason. I've two copies running, but I think you are right with let one copy running for only basic tasks and searching site lists.

I'm also using a dropbox like software (in my case wuala - because it's a lot more secure than dropbox) to share such information.

Thanks for mentioning wuala, looks like a good option, with better pricing as well

OT: Go for coupon codes... You can get about 20GB for free

Even better!

@Bytefaker - Thanks for the heads up about dropbox. Been using it for ages. Will check out Wuala.
