I'm using TWX Proxy for the first time and have a couple of questions. I used the ZTMFast script (3 runs on a 5k universe) the max bubble size is set to 25 but the biggest one it came up with was only 7 sectors. I've been doing some reading in the forum and that doesn't seem normal. The bubbles I've visited manually seem to be accurate though.

Also, I looked at the list of deadends and it gives a list of sectors but not the length of the deadend...is this information very helpful?

I'm not familiar with that ztm, but a max bubble size of 7 isn't uncommon.  The deadend sectors give you locations that some people like to build bases in.  In itself the deadend is of minimal use, but if you use other parameters to filter the deadends you can come up with a decent target list.  The length of a deadend is bascially the tunnel that leads from the gate sector to the dead end (thinking 2 way warps to the DE).
A shameless plug:  Use ProZTM14A and it will give you more data than you probably need right now.  The traffic *ysis takes a while to run so unless you want that information, make sure it is set to "n" for the script.
Blasted filters on the *ysis -- a+n+a+lysis

Nod, just because the max is set to something doesn't mean that size will spawn. Large bubbles and some other sector patterns aren't common in 5k.

Ztm fast is xide's pack 2 ztm I think. It misses a lot of warps. Supg's, Rev's, Ck's, snd prome's all use roughly the same method and are much more accurate.

Yes, I've read a lot of posts where people recommended that Supg thing. Where can I find it?
