+
+The configuration file `config.json` contains settings for the script:
+
+- `usage_level`: An integer from 1 to 3 representing system usage allowance.
+- `http_links`: A list of URLs to scrape HTTP proxies from.
+- `socks5_links`: A list of URLs to scrape SOCKS5 proxies from.

+## Script Description
+
+This script is designed to download and verify HTTP/s and SOCKS5 proxies from public databases and files. It offers the following key features:
+
+- **Configurable Threading**: Adjust the number of threads based on your system's capability using a `usage_level` setting from 1 to 3.
+- **Scraping Proxies**: Automatically scrape HTTP/s and SOCKS5 proxies from various online sources.
+- **Checking Proxies**: Validate the functionality of the scraped proxies to ensure they are operational.
+- **System Monitoring**: Display the script's CPU and RAM usage in the console title for real-time performance monitoring.
+
+### Usage
+
+1. **Installation**:
+   - Clone the repository or download the .zip file.
+   - Navigate to the project directory.
+
+2. **Running the Script**:
+   - Execute the script using:

+     or
+     ```bash
+     python main.py
+     ```
+
+3. **Configuration**:
+   - The script uses a `config.json` file to manage settings.
+   - Adjust the `usage_level`, and specify the list of URLs for HTTP/s and SOCKS5 proxies.
+
+4. **Educational & Research Purposes Only**:
