I have an application that accepts broadcasted work assignments for me.
I used to dominate.
Recently, I keep getting beat out.
I have a dedicated laptop with a hardwired internet connection. I use a normal, new cat 5 e cable.
The laptop is a dell Latitude E5510 with plenty of ram and a I-5 processor and SSD
Running window 7 pro.
I have no antivirus, no firewall.
I use anti-captcha.com for solving.
I run nothing else on this comp. No web browsing except that the app opens the assignment acceptance page.
The app is located in a folder on my desktop. (if that makes any difference)
I have chrome open with no address so it is already open. I have all accelerators, protections and assists turned off, chrome is set to run on high priority from task manager settings.
I run the app on "High Priority" and as administrator.
As it stands now my internet speed, ping upload, download, All very fast.
Download is 50-80mbps upload 15-30
Latency 40ms - 220 ms. (which is weird because the latency on my wifi connected laptop is a consistent 20-24ms)
Other than what I just typed above.(Any mistakes I am making?)
This link describes using OpenDNS instead of what windows normally uses.
Would this work? Does it work?
