    Wondering since on my AUAB I always get 0.5-0.6 buy times and I only get 1-2 items out of 30 trys.

    No clue if these stats will help you but from doing a speed test:
    ping: 23ms
    download: 8.92mbps
    upload: 4.38 mbps

    Located in California with Comcast high speed internet

    Just wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions to speed up my times (settings on program, settings on computer, internet settings)
    I have ran this both on my laptop and my desktop and same results.

    Thanks for any help

    ...Any faster and you'll be getting yourself iced.

    My speeds are a lot worse than that. I say be happy with what you have.

    You can't really speed up you buy times.
    There's a number of factors that aren't in your control that play against you.
    You can have the fastest connection in the world and still have buy time of 1000ms+.

    hmmm alright thanks for the replies

    Junior if I might ask how do you fare when ABing? I still think only getting 2 items our of 30-35 tries for items that are only worth 100k is pretty bad

    Could be that I was just unluck for these past 3 days

    Could be unlucky...

    My buy times are ALL 3.3seconds +. Some of this is by choice, to ensure my account is as safe as possible.

    I miss alot, but I still nab good items.

    As of late however, I've been missing alot more than usual.. Even crappy priced stuff. My times have slown down a tad too recently for an unknown reason.

    Hmm is it possible the program could be out of date?

    When I first started using the program back in Aug2010 I was easily getting my 5 items worth 200K+ everyday at 0.6 buy times without ever being frozen

    so is it a possibility that it could be the program?

    chances are that it is that there are more cheaters, so you have more competition

    ^^this

    The way our programs are designed, I can't see how it would slow down after a couple of months.
    It's either they work or they don't.
