Topic: Snipes keep failing

That sounds like the time synchronisation issue to me. There are two things you can do:

1) build your own JBW from the CVS source code which includes the fix

2) manually set your computer’s clock to eBay official time until 1.0.2pre7 is released (NB: eBay official time may bear very little relation to what the rest of the world thinks the time is so may cause weird issues with email/file timestamps)
