Word, even more confused as to why I am capping at about 100 evey day then. I start hamming around 7AM CST, then work from my que with the Project Endor script while more are coming in. I always seem to clear my que before it ever fills up. I am either missing something important or my internet sucks, or something.. but my internet is pretty decent so I am guessing I am missing an important part of the equation.
Yeah I never get more then 70-90 and I start when the batch starts.

I do a panda crazy with delayed go ham mode on, and never let my queue get full so I can keep catching them.

Hello, I'm an undecided voter and a big dum dum, what's your stance on rats? Particularly forum ones. Thank you.
You do too know.

I have no clue how you are catching that many. I never filled my que and was hamming them the whole time and I still only got < 100.
Being geographically close to the server handing out the hits (better ping) and having low cycle times for PC play a role I imagine. 30+/- milliseconds might make the difference, it's the same concept as why wallstreet peeps go to such extreme measures with laying their own fiber and positioning their offices at certain places so they can gain a few ms extra internet speed.

It's a well thought out theory but I think it's more likely that Zoltars just suck.

No, I was sleeping all nicely and then heard a loud ping.

Your fault.

I will hold a grudge against you for at least the day.
Oh. It was probably time to get up anyhow. You're welcome. :celebrate:

What are you ISP stats?: http://www.speedtest.net/
In particular I'd be interested in know what your ping (latency) is?

That settles it then, moving close to Zoltar and laying fiber.
