Domain Research Tool's scanning takes so long....

[allanh]

how long does it take for you to do one scan?.:?:


I have spent all day scanning and it's only 5% done.......:asleep::upset::sigh2:

How big is your scan? I mean, how many domains are you scanning and how many proxies are you using?

 

[allanh]

I am scanning all the expiring domains in the next 6 days ~~~~ Is that too much?

It will probally be done in about 6 days. :lol:

Yah, I never run a list of more then 30-50K at a time. Depending on how many "things" you want info for, the longer it will take.

Your ISP transfer rate makes a difference etc..

Computer Memory makes a difference.

There are some settings you can change to make it go a lot faster, too. I don't have the PC I use for scanning handy but it used to take me hours to do 10K names, now it's improved a lot.

Also, some ISPs will block your access if you use up too much bandwidth (Comcast is notorious with this but AT&T / BellSouth DSL never did it).

if u got 4 mb of ram 3 ghz processor and 8mps speed it shouldn't take long

I'm assuming you mean 4GB of RAM?

I haven't seen a PC w/ 4MB of ram is a very long time, over 15 years.

When does Comcast start blocking your access? I use a lot of bandwidth, but I'm curious as to when they could start blocking me.

I've noticed when I do scans, it will go though, say, 5000 domain scans then my access will be cut for about 20-45 seconds (my whole network will be down and no scans during that time). Then, it opens back up again for another ~1500-2000 scans, then rinse and repeat.

It could be something they do locally and not nationally, though.

yes 4 GB ........... as dragger said rest depends on ur ISP, and Proxies......if u have good paid proxies that would surely make a difference.

I don't use D.R.T. no more.
The only tool I use these days is DNF

Depends on how large the list you are scanning, the amount of data you are looking for, the proxy you may be using and your connection.

Make sure you uncheck some un-necessary fields as for the most part you dont need to be searching for all the data and try dividing up your lists into a few different lists.
