Use the first 15 prime numbers (excluding 1) for the intervals. The longest interval would be 47 minutes. Eventually there would be a point at which all of the checks coincided but it would be a long time away. Smaller numbers of collisions would happen more frequently, but when only two or three checks are being done at the same time the delay is much smaller... -- Jim Kyle Using The Bat! v3.85.03 on Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 A with AntiSpamSniper Version 2.7.1.5 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
