Comparison and benefits of high-bandwidth proxies for large-scale scraping.
Oxylabs’ High-Bandwidth Proxies offer faster speeds and greater data capacity than regular proxies. This makes them a perfect choice for large-scale web scraping tasks, such as downloading massive volumes of video or audio data for AI model training.
For a detailed comparison, here’s a small table highlighting the main features of high-bandwidth and regular proxies:
Bandwidth capacity
200+ Gbps dedicated bandwidth
Standard shared bandwidth (1-10 Gbps typical)
Connection stability
Persistent connections during full download duration
You can expect disconnections and data loss with some other proxy types
IP pool management
Automatic error detection and IP rotation
Manual error handling, none or basic IP rotation
Proxy setup
Fine-tuned for specific video platforms for maximum success
No specific setup - just a basic proxy
Scalability
Elastic infrastructure designed for massive video data downloads
Not optimized for large-scale video downloads, additional time required for scaling
Cost efficiency
Competitive pricing for high-traffic volumes
Potentially higher costs due to inefficiencies and failed requests
