    You were either unlucky or not careful enough.
    I've been iglooing on four accounts for the last three weeks at 2-5 sec refresh and have not gotten iced so far.
    You really shouldn't expect to be able to keep an account for 4 months while iglooing, since abers will get you frozen sooner or later. That's why you need to move around the neopoints every now and then.

    ABing is not 100% some will get caught, some will not.
    Best thing is to expect to be caught, that way you stand to lose less than if you are not prepared at all.

    Some people will AB for the first time for 1 minute and get frozen.
    Some will AB for months on end and get frozen.
    And some will just get away with it.

    If you keep trying you'll see you'll fall into the first two at times, it just happens.

    1-2 worked for me for about a month, up till a week ago I got iced. This seems to be a common pattern recently.

    I would advise you to be extremely cautious with Igloo ABer, it's not as foolproof as before. Aim for 2-5 seconds, perhaps even 3-5 just to be on the safe side. And definately do not leave it on for extended periods of time anymore--it might have been fine to leave it on 24/7 previously, but that just doesn't seem to be a viable option anymore.

    0 miss? what the!

    anyway, i think yepp, you were just unlucky, as igloo ABer has a much lower freeze rate than compared to main shop autobuying, i think almost comparable to user shop autobuying, but they probably jacked up the freeze rate due to many people opening even more instances of IABs.

    new approach doing me good so far.
    2 -5sec, sometimes 3-5
    it actual got me items lots faster.
    i think its cus, 1-2sec, is too fast for my internet speed anyway.

    if its 2 months long, then u prob safe.
    but if its 2weeks then, that's another story.
    they would still have record of ppl accounts.

    The igloo ABer rarely miss a buy... well, for me !
    In the past 100 buys, the ABer missed 2 times. And it was my fault.
    That's what happen when you use all the tcp/ip connection available from windows because you're downloading like a maniac using torrent >:)

    it help, if you have slow connection to increase your refresh rates.
    that would decrease the Miss rate.
    works for me.

    never miss.

    IF you still have XP:

    1. Make sure you're logged on as actually "Administrator". Do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.

    2. Start > Run > type gpedit.msc (not available in home version).

    3. Expand the Local Computer Policy branch.

    4. Expand the Administrative Templates branch.

    5. Expand the Network branch.

    6. Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window.

    7. In right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting.

    8. On setting tab check the ENABLED item.

    9. Where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0 (ZERO).

    10. Close gpedit.msc.

    Igloo ABer is 99% safe.

    Maybe you've made something else wrong... Using on 10 accounts from 8-9 months, no problems at all. Everything worked fine ;)
