Cannot understand the line

@npcoder2k14 Why are you using multiprocessing pool at here https://github.com/npcoder2k14/SpeedTest/blob/master/speed.py#L71 , as per my understanding at a time you can only send request to a particular server, launching pools will put them in a waiting #queue, instead you can call the function sequentially , saving overheads attached with command queues, etc thus less time in searching for a proxy. Also files are not automatically removed. Use of open is deprecated https://github.com/npcoder2k14/SpeedTest/blob/master/speed.py#L33 , use with open instead, there.
Also will 5 seconds do the job instead of 10 ? 10 seconds is quite a lot of time.

Looking at this code now after so many years 😭 .
@khalibartan Use of ProcessPool is parallelizing the proxy test operation. I guess you are referring to GIL here. Since this is a network request(I/O bound), hence no queuing will be done. Even if I use a threadpool instead of processpool, this script will perform the same with an even lighter process stack, sparing machine's precious CPU resources.
