Wheat Snooper or Great Snooper? (when using smartphone as a modem)

I'll try to play over 3G, to avoid being disconected, especially on TUS games. So if I need to chat with someone, what's the best snooper to use? Ty

Wheat is only good if you're using 2.9.x or above. Older versions would eat traffic each 3 seconds by refreshing the entire userlist with all of the user information. This was fixed in 2.9.
Great snooper has a "low bandwidth" mode, I think (but it should already be light). I don't know what it optimizes (perhaps it sacrifices getting user information such as flags). You should maybe try it.

Yeah, I decided for GS long ago. It's smallest and most transparent snooper imo.
Didn't yet try it via mobile connection tho. Should test few of them just to see differences.

Got it wrong godmax..
Usually mobile phones are more stable then modem connections.
That's why people use mobiles in the first place

Mobile phone and its towers and wireless connection therefore is the worst possibility you can use ever! Strong fiber cables via lan cable to pc is the best most stable by far FAR!

Max, try to find fiber optic at countryside in 100 km to nearest hints of civilization.

Sure I understand. Only saying handy is horrible especially for Worms and its beautiful dc problems. But if you must then do that.
