I am trying to make a program that can check proxy addresses; I can get the program to function. The issue I have is the program is really slow. I tried using several wrappers and pretty much get the same slow response. I also tried using just inet and winsock, with pretty much the same results. The issue comes when a bad proxy is tested; it takes forever to get the response and the program to timeout. Does anybody know what I could use to speed along this process? All I am doing is setting a proxy and sending a request for a page from NEO. It took bout an hour to do 200 addresses (not really a viable program).
