Change Active Threads on Grab Emails - olavor - 10-14-2017
Hi,
I watched this video from loopline that explains the "Grab emails by Crawling Sites" feature:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CykedqJg92w&t=159s
My question is how to change the "Active Threads" setting to a different number?
Mine is going all the way up to 50 and I wish to set it to 1 so that I don't incurr the risk of putting any site down.
On the video Loopline has his set to 10. But I can't see where to do that.
The only place I could find is on "Settings>Connections, Timeout and Other Seetings>Connections>Email Grabber". I set that to 1 but then when I run Grab Emails by Crawling Sites, Active Threads still go up all the way to 50.
Thanks

Its under the place you noted.
I would try shutting down scrapebox and then restarting it, and then go back to that connections screen and see if its the same. Scrapebox may not have write permissions to save the settings.
So you can make sure your scrapebox folder is either in a folder that is on your desktop or a folder in your documents folder.
Also you can whitelist scrapebox in all security software, such as anti-virus, malware checkers and firewalls.

Hi Loopline,
Thanks for the answer.
The setting is being saved. I close scrapebox and open it again and Email Grabber is still set to 1.
Still, when I run Grab Emails by Crawling a Site, Active Threads keep going up to 50 (or even more as I don't know because I just click stop).
Any clues?
thanks
