    Yea, neo would be my only guess, because I've had months of experience with mixing up lists and abing in the AAA. My buy times are consistent around 200-300 ms. xD

    Haha, I only get 20mb/s out of my connection. I've seen other abers that have 60-70 mb/s.
    I'm still wondering what they manage to pull off. They never want to tell me. :p

    Not sure if this is proven to help, but go into task manager. Click on the processes tab and find the aber, right click it. Then click set priority and then set it to high.

    If you are getting 300+ms buys your problem is a slow computer. XD

    Might sound silly but if you have a 3-4gb hard drive laying around, do a fresh install of windows on it, with nothing but the bare minimum you need. No anti-virus, firewall, software...
    Windows + needed drivers + ABer

    Run your computer in safe mode + internet connection.
    That will probably make it faster too.

    Would save you the time of reinstalling.


    You could also download a program called: Advanced system care pro.
    I have it, and it has a feature that is called smart ram. When you turn it on, it cleans up your ram a little bit.
    it also has a turbo boost mode which is really useful. It disables alot of junk you don't need. I used it on my super slow computer and now its fast.. It has tons of tools to speed up your computer. :p

    You can get the trial here:
    http://download.cnet.com/Advanced-SystemCare-Pro/3000-2086_4-10399324.html?part=dl-6271865&subj=dl&tag=button

    You can get a genuine license for free here:
    http://db.iobit.com/license-free/pcadvisor-asc-free-license.php

    When you use the license on the trial it will unlock the pro features.
    Not sure how long they are going to have that promo running, but it is worth a try.

    For your USAB if you make it so you can limit of max amount of certain pieces you buy at a time that would be wicked!

    I'm not sure if I get this right, but the program already offer you to say how much you want to pay for each piece of each map. That's the goal of this program since a normal USAB won't know witch map piece is showing.

    oops, just saw this now. I posted this on your program discussion, but I guess I'll post it here instead, it has to do with your power feeder:

    lately I've been having this problem where it goes to buy the item and then it says

    "unhandled exception has occured"
    and bla bla bla

    and then I'm forced to quit the program.. any ideas? It started happening right after I updated to 1.3, but then again I don't think the update was the problem, I think I had the problem every so often before too..
