Thanks.

Automatically when RDSS loads, it fetches
MTP for all tracks (carried by TwinSpires world-wide, actually) once a minute.
Every 5 minutes, it fetches
Changes & Scratches for any of Today's cards which are opened (i.e. Card Summary is displayed).
It fetches odds for any of these open cards when Race 1 MTP reaches 20 MTP and refreshes each 45 seconds until 1 MTP, then each 15 seconds until pools stop changing.
The tote system is not supposed to reach out over the internet for anything related to Future or Past races - only for Today's races.
Do you observe that it acts differently than above?
That said - I will be adding a switch that effectively disabled
automatic tote system activity by RDSS. Only self-initiated Data Centre internet activity: TrackMaster card list refreshes, Chart and PP Downloads, and Registration Update info.
I think I'll set the default to ON (= yes, automatically seek tote system info per the above constraints). You could turn it OFF if you want.
Does that seem appropriate/useful?
