It's based both on the length of the messages sent and the frequency they are sent.  Sorry I Can't help you more than that :-/

Has anyone actually figured it out?  I don't want code or anything just wondering.  I remember there being a post on the old board about this, but can't recall if anyone actually produced code that worked for over 35 lines or so.

Yes, I should have mentioned that, I've never flooded off in Warcraft III, but apparently you can if it's laggy enough

The old algorithm works flawlessly if all of your messages are under 57 bytes, IIRC.
