Next is that using 10 connections with 35 proxies is going to get your proxies based ultra fast. Just set it to 1-3 connections, depending on the footprint and then it will go slow enough that you won't have to worry about the delay or getting banned. Id start with 2 connections and if that works well then go to 3 and try it, if it doesn't work well on 2, try 1.

As for the freezing, are you using bing? Try only using bing with the custom harvester.

Does it say not responding, or does it ghost out or what? Or does the window look normal, and you can move it around, but the count does not increase. Can you be more specific about what you mean by freezing?

Your reaching a threashold and thats triggering a security program to lock the threads and not allow scrapebox to communicate with the internet.

So you need to make sure you have scrapebox set as trusted, allowed in all anti-virus, malware checkers, firewalls etc...

Also you could try shutting down unneeded programs as they can interfere and cause this, but given the consistency I would place my first bets on security software.

If you are using a router then you can try white listing scrapebox and disabling the firewall as a test.

Note that on anti-virus, malware checkers and firewalls you can't just disable them. Disabling them only stops new rules from being created, exsiting rules still fire, so you need to delete existing rules and set scrapebox as trusted.
