i use my bot as a trivia bot and when people answer the questions the response to them being right takes a second and ive been in other rooms and theirs doesnt do that i was wondering if i could speed it up or what....

thanks for any help

There are many factors involved here. Perhaps the other bots you speak of are on 100mb/s connections while you are on 56k for example. But, there is no real way to "speed up mIRC" if it is going too slow, try getting a faster internet connection.

it caould also be mircs built in "flood protection" where if you had something like

on 1:TEXT:!command:#: {
/notice $nick Line 1
/notice $nick Line 2
/notice $nick Line 3
/notice $nick Line 4
/notice $nick Line 5
/notice $nick Line 6
/notice $nick Line 7
}

and you type !command, mirc usually spits the first 5 lines out no problem, and then starts to pace itself with the other lines. Could be the same thing, your trivia bot is outputting a lot of text. Mirc decides it needs to pause itself, so you don't get kicked off the server,

I would try playing with /flood (/help /flood) and playing with lines/sec and flood limits. See if that helps out grin
