Hello

I would like to buy Elite proxy , but before I would like to get answers at the following questions  because  when  I try to use proxies, I get a lot of problems:

1/ could you explain to me why there are so many proxies and why they don’t run correctly? Why they run one hour, one day and then …nothing ?

2/ When I get a proxy running and try to connect at some tracker sites , I get the following message :
« The connection has been denied by the proxy server (delay exceed) »
Or
« Firefox is outlined to use a proxy server but this one do not accept connection »

3/ When I put the proxy values in µtorrent , it is impossible to download anything . However I can upload only to peers  but all the trackers are blocked

Thank you if you can give me more explanations (and excuse me for my bad English)

1) When you use a proxy, you are using the resource on the proxy server such as its CPU and memory. If too many people use the same proxy, the proxy server will exceed its limited load and go down. If a proxy can be found easily, it usually dies very fast.

More information: http://forum.my-proxy.com/proxy-questions/why-proxies-always-die-quickly-t93.0.html

2) The proxy you are using is dead. Please check the proxy before using it.

3) Http proxy is only for surfing in browser. You need socks proxy to use utorrent:

Thank you for your reply

But I can’t still run µTorrent with a proxy.
With EPS I have got goods level 1 proxies which run very well with firefox.
I have put the setting of theses proxies in µTorrent (under socks 5) following different tutorial.
In µTorrent/tracker I get this information : « «  proxy connect error : hors ligne (temps d’essai écoulé) ». and « no authorized » for [DHT] [recherche locale de pair] et  [échange de pairs].
I tried also without any firewall.

I did not get any solutions in µTorrent forum.
I saw on the web one information saying that it is not possible to download with a proxy!
I can’t believe that but I don’t find any solution.

Thanks for any advice

Why not,  it's possible to download with proxy all you need is just a better proxy with high speed that's all .

The proxies in EPS are Http proxy. You can not use them as Socks5 proxy.
Please use this software to test socks proxy: http://www.socksproxychecker.com

Hi Terry

Thank you very much for your help and your patience

Now.. proxy + µTorrent  run !

But what was not clear is that EPS was only for http proxy …I haven’t  see that anywhere. This specificity should be shown better.

But now I see that I can’t use the switch function of EPS with socks 5 list.

Several function of EPS interest me : Anonymity, danger, no Codeen,
How to do to get all these information for sock 5 proxy?  SPC only allows to know socks.

Is there any setting or any program which allow that?


Thank you for your help

All the socks proxies are high anonymous (Level 1) and non-CoDeeN. If you want to know whether it may a dangerous (FBI/Army) proxy. You can buy the professional version of SPC: http://www.socksproxychecker.com/#professional
