johnthexiii Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 If I scrape a tracker for hashes 1- 73 should I wait 60 seconds (or min_interval) before scraping for hashes 74 - n or is it acceptable to scrape for the next set of hashes immediately?

johnthexiii Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I've seen that link before... and maybe I'm an idiot but I didn't see anything there about how often scrapes should be done (other than min_interval). Another way to look at what I am asking is "does min_interval apply to how often you can scrape for a hash or set of hashes, or does min_interval apply to all scrapes regardless of which hashes you are scraping for?". Also the FAQ link in your signature is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 There's a min_request_interval in the link I provided in case you didn't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnthexiii Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 the minimum number of seconds for the client to wait before scraping the tracker again.Does that apply to all scrape requests? I assume if I scrape for a18f7339c128d8b494bf02c993e950f712363405, ..., 65b6d9e2912c1a7167977f5caae5df10030d1243 (73 info hashes) I should wait min_request_interval before I scrape for those hashes again, but should I wait min_request_interval to scrape for the next 73 unique hashes or is it acceptable to scrape them immediately?

DreadWingKnight Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'd lean towards waiting that for the next batch. Check with the trackers you plan to scrape for recommendations and details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
