    So I've been trying to use the Attice ABer today and last night but it doesn't seem to be working. I know the attic has refreshed in the last hour or so but the ABer doesn't seem to pick it up. I don't think it's my internet because the net seems to be running smoothly without lag. The ABer just reads it as "no RS" no matter what and sets it for the next RS time. Am I doing something wrong? I have the list loaded.

    And another issue I get is when I click "logout" in the ABer it'll give me an error saying "The magic number in GZip header is not correct" and the choice to either quit or continue. It's not that big of a deal as when I'm switching accounts all I've gotta do is close it and open it again, but it would be nice if there was a solution to this problem.

    Is this happening for any one else? I really hope it's just something I'm doing wrong this time around because it has worked really well up until today.

    Try setting the time manually. Sometimes the attic doesn't restock for 2-3 hours. ):

    I use this since it has updated times 24/7:
    http://zachafer.happeningz.net/attic/attic.php

    Set it to exactly what it shows on the website, just refresh it to make sure it is 100% correct.

    How many items are in your list?

    And also, the logout issue has been there for a while. You have to close the program to end the session.

    Thanks. I'll give it another try with the time on that page.

    My list has 2520 items on it.

    Well hopefully that will work. Otherwise I don't know what else the problem could be. Unless your computer is very slow which causes it to lag enough to get caught off the RS pattern.
    And if you have slow buy times shorten the list. ^_^

    With the simple attic autobuyer you will have to set the time manually. There are many places you can find possible restock times at. There will be a possible restock every 7 minutes from the last one. It normally restocks a few times an hour however sometimes it can go an hour without restocking.

    You don't have to set the time manually.
    I usually log the account, load the list, hit "Start" and leave for work.
    The program catch the RS just fine.

    As for the "Logout" problem, I'm aware of it but since it's really not that big of a deal, I'll fix it on the next release of this program.

    I also doubt that the program miss the RS, even with a slow connection.
    I sync the time at the minute the refresh is suppose to happen and the program start refreshing at :51 up to :57. The program simply can't get 4 seconds late under 50 seconds of the syncing unless you're running a pentium-200mhz.

    And FYI: last thursday, the attic did not refresh for almost 4 hours.

    I must've just set the RS time wrong manually or it got off sync because it seems to be working again now. :) Yeah the logout thing is no biggy just wasn't sure if it was happening for any one else.

    Another possibility could be that my computer is just running slowly since it's the bootcamp version of windows run on my mac... if that has anything to do with it I guess.

    Oh god, thix explains everything haha. My internet is so slow compared to other people's beastly connections.

    So which statistic is most important? The download speed or the ping?

    The download speed.
    I wish my connection was faster. I still manage to get stuff here and there. But I'm sure anyone with 50+ Mb/s get stuff left and right. lol.
    Internet is very expensive here too. :/

    So when i go back to college im excited. Yay for 50 Mb/s ^_^

    I'm not following you here.
    There's no option to "increase" the buy time so I guess so.
