A BOT is a procedure that will check the security of a given destination at one time. More BOTs will speed up a search.

If the check-box [Use Multi-Bots feature] is OFF, your search will be done only with 1 BOT at once. It will be slower, but sometimes, it is necessary…

Here's some examples of speed accuracy using single or multiple bots :

1 BOT = 3500 Tested logins per hour.

5 BOTs = 10000 tested logins/ hour

10 BOTs = 35000 tested logins/hour

50 BOTs = 65000 tested logins/hour

90 BOTs = 85000 tested logins/hour

<Free Dive> is running with 5 BOTs at the same time.

<Access Diver> can handle a maximum of 100 BOTs.

  Bots quantity vs modem speed 

As you know the speed of your modem (28.8 / 56K / ISDN / T3 / T1 /…) can limit transfers between you and your server. So, when you are searching for something with <Access Diver>, stop other transfers that are using your connexion. Here is a list of theoritical speed limitation vs quantity of Bots used.

Modem type

Bots

28.8 Kbps modem

45 BOTs max

56 Kbps modem

80 BOTs max

ISDN / T3 / T1

All BOTs (100)

   Bots quantity vs your server's bandwith 

Try to start with 5 or 10 BOTs just to be sure that the destination is fast enough to handle more BOTs. Now select 40 BOTs and continue your search. If the server always responds fastly, add more and more BOTs. Remember that with a 56Kbps modem you can use only 80 BOTs at once (not the 100 BOTs).

If you don't do that, you will overflow your connexion and you'll loose some of the test combinaisons. You can even overflow your distant server in the case it has not a good bandwith. It's the case when the server is online via a low-speed connexion.

By this way, you'll see that <Access Diver> can be a bandwith tester for your server too. In general, a good server can handle 45 BOTs at once. A very good server can handle all the BOTs at once. So, how many BOTs can be handled by your server ? 1 (uggly) / 10 (medium) / 50 (good) / 100 (very good).

If you see that your modem is saturated, you can change the quantity of Bots to use. This can be done at runtime, so, you won't have to stop the search...

  Search speed vs proxy/firewall server 

Above, we've told you that a 56KBps modem can handle a maximum of 80 BOTs at once. In fact, it depends on your search parameters. If you use a proxy server or a firewall server , it may be possible that your search speed can be strongly slowed. It's even possible that this kind of server speeds-up your ways and give you the opportunity to use 100BOTs at once. Therefore, the choice of a tiers server (proxy or firewall) is very important. We have pushed  <Access Diver> to  92 BOTs at once on a 56Kbps modem and with a good firewall server... So, try to find a good one, good luck...

  Saturation problems 

Sometimes, <Access Diver> will show at the bottom of its window this message 10 combinaisons has been lost. This message tells you that the sollicited server receives so much requests at the same time that it can't treat them all.. Maybe the provider of your site has limited the bandwith or your site is accessed during a rush time.Sometimes peoples who don't have a permanent host server open their site while they are online and with their modems. So, it's quite sure that you'll have limitation to open that kind of server. Combinaisons sent will be lost, because the server won't respond fast enough to send a response to you. Therefore, these combinaisons will be timed-out and lost…
