BHopkins 0 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 My bot registers accounts at the same site multiple times. I'm having trouble when a public proxy isn't working, the bot gets stuck. Just looking for feedback from people who might be doing something similar. Do you error check or anything?

One idea i had is:Put this in a loop:- have a sub that scrapes a known page (google.com) for text.- Run this after you change the proxy. - If it fails (404, timeout), change the proxy. Repeat..
