ba freezing

[docbrown]

I live in Australia. ba has been freezing (5 or more seconds at a time every few minutes) on my old pc that runs vista (microsoft not supporting vista after april 2017). I have tried using windows 7 and windows10 pc's but they have been worse. I am aware that the Aus server was shut down a couple of weeks ago. I just wanted to know if this was normal?

freezing for 5 secs is connection problem
If you didn't have that problem previously then is due to ba server transfer

I think its a ba issue.I just had ba and a betfair page (firefox) open side by side. Betfair page was refreshing every second.Ba froze for 6 seconds,while the betfair page kept refreshing every second.It felt like ba was working better,not as many freezing times.Like the betfair page refreshing helped ba.

There is no reason to be ba's issue because other ba instances that connect to aus races dont have that problem ( I dont)
Probably the api trying to connect to the server and has problems
Maybe the diagnostic file will help at this case?

I'd imagine it's something you'll need to get used to now they've done away with the Aus servers and everything goes thru Ireland on the main global server.

When I used to connect to the AUS servers from the UK I used to get 'buffering' type delays too so now it's reversed I'd imagine the AUS players will suffer too. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the website working better as I think that has a separate odds feed to the API, many times the API will go downn but the web site still active.

Thanks for the reply's. I had a feeling this might be normal,now that the aus server's gone. I've got ba to a workable point.
