    I NEED HELP!!

    I use AU for Igloo buying only, because I only have a couple accounts to AB with and they're only 2 months old. I'm also Dead-Set on using proxies so don't suggest I use the Igloo ABer, thanks. So I set AU to a reasonable refresh rate in a relatively busy shop like Food or Books with a bogus list (because I'm really not interested in the food or books), and then set the after-restock pause to something huge like 8000 to 9000 seconds. I set Igloo to run in during restock pause with a refresh rate of 2 to 4 seconds. I use a proxy, but a very fast one that I've used since the account's creation. During the proxy test, I get .45 to .60 response times.

    What happens when I run it like this is sometimes it runs for 2 to 3 hours and I don't even see a single missed buy let alone a successful one. A couple times I've gotten one or two items and some missed items as well but more often than not I just get no play at all. What I notice is that sometimes for long periods of time the igloo buyer pauses itself instead of running constantly and I think that's what's hosing me.

    Any ideas on what I can do to make this work better for me? I know this isn't what AU was really intended for and that this program is great at main shop ABing, but it is what it is until these accounts age.

    The new AU allows you to Igloo AB without the main shop.

    What are your igloo settings and list?

    Igloo goes so fast that proxies make it next to impossible to get something, unless you have a low profit list and high quality proxy(probably not a public one).

    Settings for Igloo are run during restock pause/refresh every 2 to 4 seconds/stop when 10 items are bought.

    My list is admittedly not low-profit but I'd still think I'd hit on more than I do.

    My proxy is very fast, as I said before. And although I read that you can run the Igloo ABer without the main shop process, I have yet to see anyone say exactly how to do that. Every time I've tried to run it with the main shop process disabled (for Igloo, spiderer, etc), the program does nothing at all. If you can enlighten me, that would make my day. :D

    Thanks for replying, btw

    In there, just uncheck main and only check Igloo if you want to have it running the Igloo.

    I think it's what Cackle said, igloo items are sold out in a second, or slightly more. With a proxy, there's a bit of delay so you probably won't get it.

    Meh, I've tried it that way and the same thing happens. It checks Igloo once, then sits there for a forever with the message "Igloo Buyer Paused" while all the items get snapped up by other gents. S'alright; it's a fabulous program - I'll just sit on the accounts until they're ready for mainshop buying.

    Try unchecking the "run iglo buyer in after restock pause" in the igloo buyer options menu, but set the times before unchecking.
