    I see plenty of people on this board talking about using proxies when autobuying but I need to know a little more....
    I recently got Acheteur Ultime and tried it with a few different proxies and in all cases it went so slow as to be totally ineffective (like 8 minutes per action). I also have the Igloo ABer that doesn't have any proxy support to begin with. So what programs are you people using that are working with proxies?? So far, I can't find any. Any other than ricky92's Firefox ABer, which doesn't do me any good because I'm unable to get that one.

    Most proxies I've found are absolutely amazingly slow. :/

    If you can find a fast one, though, for Igloo you could just proxy your entire PC since there's no proxy support.

    Sometimes you have to pay for the fast proxies, which can be annoying.

    I used AU until my account was hacked, and I chose not to use a proxy unless I was ABing on multiple accounts - which I did on the weekend.

    I have found very fast free proxies. I had to manually set the proxy in Firefox. Using the whole computer as a proxy sounds awesome, but I have no idea how to do that.
    Even with extremely fast proxies, Acheteur Ultime went ridiculously slow which indicates to me that even though it has "proxy support", it is effectively useless through proxies. Thus my original question - what ABers work with proxies?
