Does The google accelerator work? I mean i got to download it. and i dont know i dont think it accelerates surfing. because i tried to refresh and dint work it was loading so i turn the web accelerator off, and it worked. maybe it doesnt work on some websites. Sometimes it says 5 seconds save and stuff. I tried downloading it before but it already had maximum capacity of users but now i downloaded, anyone else has this google web accelerator?

i havn't notice any change but it claims i have save a whole day and then some from loading up pages. But it has to do with the cache of webasites so if you max out your cache maybe it will load quicker but its a pain when yo uhave to download something and have to turn it off.

ooo ... i have never heard of google web accelerator ... but i will try it out ... in my humble opinion ... all those web accelerators are the same ... they are working the same way ... they do accelerate the speed a bit but not very much ...

Google web accelerator is actually a program that caches user's webpages and uploads them to the google servers, which are faster. When the user requests for a page, it actually downloads from the Google Server. This means, that when you are using Google Web Accelerator, you are giving google what you see on your browsing sessions, and you are getting other people's browsing session. Sometimes, you may even be logged into somebody else's forum account because you are viewing another person's session. It does not work like a download accelerator, which breaks your destination file into pieces which speeds it up by download more, smaller files, simutaneously.

Just exactly what do they do? I have never heard of web accelerators. if it is what i think it is, i doubt it works.

Yea I downloaded it a loooooooong time ago. It seemed to mess up certain pages. It said it saved 30 minutes on the the little toolbar thing, but I dunno. It has long been lost on my hard drive and apparently you can't download it anymore.

Web accerlerators sound like mere scams to me, after all, if you really want faster download speed, you should upgrade your internet subscription. Such web accerlaration programs are known to be full of spyware and adware, but since its google, i'm not really sure. But then again, does it really help? Is that google thing clogging up your com worth a few secs more

Web Accelerators cannot really boost the speed of your modem or connection but what they can do is make that connection more efficient and effective. Web Accelerators have been around for 10 years plus now, since the days of slow dial up, and I'm not talking about the dialup we have today, I'm talking about the 14400 dialup that I was using in the early 90's.

I have heard that you can not get Google Web Accelerator anymore. I have read somewhere that people accused Google of stealing personal information by gathering the information that people have looked up or entered. These never work anyway.
