Not Working Proxies

When testing proxies using the default judge, I'll get a whole bunch reported as not working.  I re-test them with the same judge and a decent amount is now working.  I'll keep doing this over and over and more and more are now working.

Why are so many reported as not working initially, but are ok after re-testing then seconds later?

    because they are instable proxies and probably overloaded. Once they work, another time not.

    Ok fair enough.

    Would it be possible to have a setting that will re-test not working proxies an XX amount of times?

    E.g. if test failed, re-test max 3 times.  If it never succeeds then remove it.

    This would help when auto exporting working only proxies.

    Well there is a setting to delete proxies after a certain time. I think thats better. Proxies (bad or good) are in the list and all are retested. If the last successful test is XYZ minutes/days away, then it is removed.

    Oh right so it doesn't work on the very last test, its if the proxy ever tests successful within the given timeframe, then the counter starts again?
