H3RBSKI Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 hey guys im new to launchbox but have been watching a bunch of tutorials over the last few days. The issue im having is not knowing what to scrape to use in bigbox. i have 4000 roms but its trying to download 89000 files! i left my pc on over night to scrape everything and in the 7 hours it only managed to scrape 2000 ish files. this seems like its going to take days and days. What files should i be scraping for use in Bigbox and is there anyway to speed up the downloads? im on 500mb connection in the UK so the speed shouldnt really be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you should of unchecked the "remove roughly matched duplicate images" box in the wizard, that option hugely slows down imports as we use a AI program to look at each file downloaded to see if it is a duplicate.
