Hi
I dont know if anyone was trading the Black Caviar race just now, but I was in Mode 0 and the screen wasn't refreshing? Anyone else have similar issues??
I switched to Mode 1 in the end (but really wanted to use the keep bets)...Anyway another win for Black Caviar!

The latency to Australia and back could be your problem? I have different connection settings for Australian markets as if you have your settings too tight it doesn't complete the round trip before it starts another request.

Hi Peter
No dont think that was it. I was getting about 330ms (which is normal for Aus) and was using fine earlier this morning early on, it was literally about 10 mins before the race it seemed to grind to a halt? the one click screen and ladder wasn't refreshing (in mode 0)
Anyway seems Ok now, loaded up all the uk races for today
Regards
Peter

One of my friends has his own company that basically does the electrical engineering to build data centres. He's never been so busy knocking them out!

Some of the systems they build into these buildings is amazing! They have backup systems for the backup systems!
