buttontop is a jewel in the roughbuttontop is a jewel in the roughbuttontop is a jewel in the roughbuttontop is a jewel in the rough

so how does having a connection 2ms from nom help? on a very basic level can someone explain how a drop catching script does its job?

everyone has the same basic starting point, they want domain xxx.co.uk. they have the same amount of quota for the day and having a faster connection to nom will only give you slight advantage, but only slight. so how can the same people keep winning dropped domains?

As a 'typical' example, just how quick is the process from sending the enquiry to registering the name?

Selectivity is part of it. If you're only going for 1 domain in a day, you can devote more resources to it than somebody who's e.g. going for 20 domains (all other things being equal, your chances should be 20x theirs)
