How many watchers are you running at once? Also, what's the refresh rate?

1 or 2 watchers usually at 700ms

edit: a batch of 40 just showed up and i caught one manually even and my hit catcher literally didn't get a single one. It caught 2 in like 2 hours so I know it works, but i don't know what's going on

Are you getting any PREs at 700ms?

 

[KimDamyun]

yeah, a few

 

[aveline]

yeah, a few

I get a lot of PREs at 700ms, so I could see that preventing you from grabbing HITs if that were the case. But if you're not getting many, then idk. Maybe there are just too many other people running pandas for those same HITs. It can be hard to catch stuff sometimes, especially the good stuff.

That looks bad but I'm a doofus and don't understand this stuff. Is it as bad as it looks?

 

[Random Jobber]

I mean, like, are they asking for a document with 100,000 names on it?.....is it a hit list?.....do you just want to throw money away?.....

Only 1316 according to Reddit

But they want information that is almost certainly not going to be publicly displayed on someone's LinkedIn like e-mail, phone number.

Thank you for the rundown! I legit thought it looked super bad. I'm not so good with that stuff.

They must want that info pretty bad to pay that much for it. That's about $3.50 $0.30 per person......of course, that is a lot of time...

Edit - @DareAngel3 Thanks

Thanks, that's probably it, even if i increase it to like 900 and get no PREs i still can't catch anything even though the exact same task shows up on hit watcher like every minute now.
In fact I usually miss out on like 99% of all hits i see anyway, I'm always late, even with a hit catcher. it gets really frustrating

Yep! It would be awesome if it paid $3.50 per person though

1-2 watchers, good.

If a batch of 40 shows up, you'd have to be really unlucky not to catch one of the 40 in that about 1.5 seconds so I suspect the batch of 40 is posted under a different HIT ID so your catcher isn't catching it because it's a not one of the two HIT ID's you are scanning for.

While the title may be the same, some requesters change the HIT ID often making catchers virtually useless as you may catch a few before it is changed and you have to set up another watch for the new HIT ID.
