Title: Wheat Snooper or Great Snooper? (when using smartphone as a modem)
Post by: Sensei on June 17, 2015, 05:41 AM: 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

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 :)

Post by: Godmax on August 07, 2015, 11:32 AM: Sure I understand. Only saying handy is horrible especially for Worms and its beautiful dc problems. But if you must then do that.
