Is there an easy way we could edit and add a Woot tracker to be monitored without it refreshing the page?

There's not really a way to do that... it would have to download the entire page through a http request still, so your bandwidth consumption would be the same. Would there be another purpose? I might be able to solve a problem you might be having using a different method.

Well, I find trackers will usually fetch the page before woot.com updates itself. Would give an extra few seconds at least to shoot for the BoC.

I think that's all a matter of the refresh frequency of the update. It WOULD be possible to build a jetpack working from the RSS feed that would function SLIGHTLY faster and then supplement it with this script for the order process. However, I'm not sure exactly how much improvement you would truly be able to see. I'll do some research, and if feasible, I may build a supplemental jetpack.
