You still have the problem that if a booking page takes more than 2 seconds to load, and the loading time often varies on each refresh, then your auto-refresh will do its thing and you will never see the booking page that was just about to load.... The only safe way to be sure you never miss a booing page is to use F5 and allow the page to load before hitting the button to refresh....

FestiZebra Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Can anyone advise what the difference between the refreshinator app and the google chrome refresh extension is? I don't remember there being this much uproar over the browser extensions last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was considering auto-fresh for one of four devices, so three on manual out of four, come the 4th one will automatic do a better job than me trying to refresh several devices simultaneously?

So you're planning to manually F5 on 3 devices simultaneously? I've tried that before and to be honest I'm of the opinion that focusing on one device is actually more effective than trying to run 3.

I had about 10 to 12 computers on the go once in an IT training centre. Me and my then girlfriend just rushed around the table pressing F5 on each of them in turn hoping that one would let us through. I didn't really know what i was doing then, and haven't really strayed far from that position since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I leave all devices manually refreshing and just refresh on a single device , not failed me yet although ticket competitions and resales and mini resales have worked in the past , 2 tips, keep going untill tickets are sold /purchased and dont get distracted by other things , and dont give up untill after the last sales / competitions end in june , number 14 coming up fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 the 8 adaptors are on order , hope they get here before tday !! siri hasnt managed to sort me tickets yet though so think he / she should be put out to graze with the Eavis cows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropBeat Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 1 hour ago, Scruffylovemonster said: I manually refresh on 4 PCs and a phone in theory. In practice that means the phone gets two refreshes and then forgotten, and 2 PCs get manually refreshed, and 2 sit and do the 20 second countdown.But that is presuming you can actually get on the 20 second countdown page. So yeah it does tend to end up being just 2 devices with 4 browsers on each I'd actually kind of forgotten there's a step before getting onto the 20 second countdown page. That scares me.

majormajormajor Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 If you're getting low latency/RTD to the See server(s) then theoretically you can hit the server(s) more than a high latency link, and therefore have a higher chance of getting a slot. Not really relevant to get a higher speed link, although it's always better to have a higher speed internet link for other reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to see the path to that site (and where any delay is) you can use tracert ("trace route") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a real body blow having that many computers on the go and not getting through. I really thought I'd nailed it before T Day with my set up, but it wasn't meant to be.

While that's all true, unless you've got a genuinely terrible connection the difference in latency will be so small that most people wouldn't even spot it and so while there technically will be an effect on chances, it'll be absolutely miniscule. To the extent that in the best case, the cumulative effect probably equals one or two extra refreshes across the entire sale period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
