If you are using just track predicate, then u should be fine. But in general
gardenhose floods u depending on the time of the day and various other
factors nearly a few thousand tweets per hour on an average or something
similar. But again it depends what u r consuming. My numbers could certainly
differ with other who have done that in the past. but it is certainly
significantly more than normal access level.

Are you able to tell me how many more?

I know that current am getting about 28 tweets per second that contain
'rt' in them.

I estimated from the twitter.com search, that there are about 40-50
per second, but that is assuming the twitter.com is not limited.

Thanks

Something just to keep in mind. Try not to postpone integration into a
higher access level stream for last b'coz you might have to process A LOT (I
really mean it!) of tweets. Unless well done it could be over whelming for
the application to integrate with elevated access level stream.

Yes, I am receiving limit messages.

I will send an email once my college project is near completion and
ready to go live.

Are you receiving limit messages?

If not, than the issue isn't with your Streaming API role, but rather how
you are defining your search terms. You may need a broader predicate set to
catch more of them

If you are receiving limit messages, you can request a higher access level
at a...@twitter.com. Please send a brief company description and your use
case.

There is a retweet stream, but it only provides explicit retweets, not
informal RT style retweets. Also, the retweet stream is generally
unavailable until we announce our commercial license framework, which should
be soon.

both of those are samples -- the streaming API is a sample and the search
API does not return all tweets (not all tweets are indexed by search).
these are the best two options for getting a sample of all the retweets,
unfortunately.

Thanks for the advice.  I switched over to streaming and am getting
about 25-30 tweets/sec that contain 'rt'.

Based on main website search, I estimate there are about 45-50 tweets/
sec that contain 'rt'.

So, I am only getting about 50% of the actual tweets.  If I applied
for the retweet streaming api, would that give me a higher percentage
of the retweets?  Or is there another way to increase that percentage?

Thanks for your help.
