    Just sharing another good day at the attic.
    Sorry if I removed so much information but I'm kinda paranoid since my last freezing ;)

    Dang, I only get max buy speeds of 1000ms. Do you use a short list, or is your connection just that much faster lol

    The list shouldn't change anything.
    I mean, surely, if the item you're buying is the last on the list and there's 4000+ items there, it will be longer, but again, it's gonna be the same for everyone. I'm using a short list (~1400 items) with a normal connection.

    hmmm would you consider adding wildcards, so that lists would be much shorter? like * draik eggs will buy all draik eggs.

    I prefer not using the wildcard.
    Let's say you have *Morphing Potion*, and during a restock, "Green Uni Morphing Potion" pop-ups before Pirate Draik Morphing Potion, I'm not gonna be happy ;)
    And anyway, a good list will be around 1500 items.

    Well wouldn't the aber still go top to bottom? if you have the list prioritized it shouldn't do that? xD

    That's something I can do.
    Might put this option in a more advanced AAAAber though.

    Just a quick FYI:
    I'm currrently fixing all my programs to work with the new login page.
    The old one is still up and my programs are still working but I don't want to take any chances.

    I'll edit this post when I'm done.

    Thanks.

    Thank you! I'm so paranoid. I keep checking to make sure the old login page is still there before I log into a program.

    On a side note, I keep having problems with the auto kad feeder. If I use g-zip, everything that the kads ask for will be "unbuyable". If I use g-zip, it will feed them, but sometimes it will freeze up and say the program has lost connection. So I get a pop-up and it stops the program. ):

    I added the kad feeder to the first post. I'm gonna take a look eventually.
    BTW, Attic is fixed, just download the new version :D

    I know I shouldn't post this but it was just to good to be true :p
    This didn't happened today. It's from a previous run but I was waiting before posting it.
    I just hope I won't get iced for this.

    250K+ R95+ custom made by me.

    I don't understand why everyone say that !
    That's not true.
    All my programs search from top to bottom from the list, obviously, with the best items first.
    My program work this way:
    1- is there a restock ? Yes/No
    2- If yes, take the first item in the list, search for it in the page. The source is the same during all this operation, no more loading.
    3- Item found, program stop looping the list and try to buy it.

    So it doesn't matter if the 10th item is part of a 10000 items list or a 20 item list, it will take the same time for the program to get to it.

    I'll get slower buy time on the last hundred items but again, last time I checked, it wasn't more than a 100ms. The internet connection is messing up far more with the buy time than anything else.

    Edit: just checked it... my 1337 items list take 78ms assuming the program go throught all of it.
    For a DE, it only take 2ms (beeing at the very top of the list).
    A complete 5000 items list take 165ms if the program try to buy the very last item on it, and 2ms for the DE (at the same place in the list).

    Because, even with all that said, when I have a big list, even with draik eggs at the top, I'll end up getting like a 600 ms attempt/buy compared to a 200 ms attempt/buy with a short list. I never understand why.lol

    I don't understand that one XD
    My buy time are quite steady at ~700ms, even with a big list.
    Sometime, neo lags because too much users try to refresh and I end up with a 1500+ms buy time.
    I guess that's what happen when every one know when the refresh will occur :p
