When I start to AB normally, regardless of the settings the program is on, the status text will sit at "Visting Shop ID: ..." for a long time, up to several minutes, before changing to "Waiting _._ seconds". The 'waiting' time goes by normally, it's just the actual shop visit that's taking forever. So it will say "visiting" for 2 minutes instead of the second it would normally take, then wait say 4.6 seconds, then "visit" again and get stuck there for 40 seconds, etc. It's as if the page is just idling.
Tonight I've had abrosia running for roughly 40 minutes and it's only refreshed the shop 32 times. Normally I'd get around 8-12 refreshes per minute, depending on the settings.
To make things weirder, this only happens while ABing normal shops - Igloo and Attic are working fine. There is a some latency but not nearly as bad. This has been happening on both my computers, using my internet and on multiple proxies through my VPN, and my personal internet connection is running normally and I don't have any other notable programs open that take up bandwith, that I know of.
Couple of speed tests to give you an idea of what I'm working with. They're all fairly unimpressive but haven't given me problems like this one before recently.
As you can see, there isn't a huge difference between them, and the same thing is happening on all these connections, whereas it never did before. Help?
ETA: Restarted my computer with a diagnostic startup, so only essential programs would run. Without a proxy it's now pausing for ~10 seconds on visiting. Curious. Investigating further.
