regular users shouldn't really care if they speed up their browsing cause it's pretty safe but website and server admins have real trouble with these NOSed browsers as they open and often preload tons of stuff that won't even be viewed and eat bandwitch so there've appeared solutions to ban or not allow you to browse certain sites. I don't know very well the admin part but i guess i've read there's even an apache module to deal with this problem.
I used to use fasterfox untill i've read about this thing. Now i turned off the turbocharged option and i use it without risking to get banned temporarly or permanently and of course i don't want my sites to get their bandwitch sucked for no advantage(most of preloaded pages won't even be seen as they are preloaded just in case), so i'm the ones to prevent this... Anyway...how would u feel if your sites' bandwitch would be consumed by only a few folks that have prefetch enabled and other tricky options? You'd be forced to buy extra bandwitch for no real gain. Just my 2 cents...think of it. Cheers! |

my browser doesn't have a browser.turbo (therefore no browser.turbo.enabled), so I'm unable to change that one. Any ideas about why, or what to do? o_O
Actually... I tried adding the string 'browser.turbo.enabled' with value 'true' -- will this produce the same outcome, you think? |

I got it off another forum. I tried it and it worked perfectly, now pages load much faster than before in firefox.
QUOTE 1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries: network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading. 2. Alter the entries as follows: Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" from False Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" from False Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 500 requests at once. From 4 3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. OR download the FasterFox extension, it does all the above for you and there are more features. That's it. If you're using dial-up, don't bother to follow whatever is above U will Never Know Till U have Tried.  |

This is really awesome, i found out about this a LONG LONG time ago like right when Firefox came out, the crazy thing is it actually works, there are tons of other things you can do but its a little hard to explain.

Does it really work that well? I might try it if it won't interfere with Rapidshare or anything like that.

I have found some settings for a faster connection net.
Find network.http.max-connections This setting determines how many simultaneous HTTP connections can be made. Default is 24, change it to 48. Find network.http.max-connections-per-server This setting determines how many simultaneous connections can be made to a single server. Default is 8, change it to 16. But setting it too high will create problems and your connections could be refused. Find network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy This setting is useful if you use a proxy server. Which determines how many connections to keep alive at any time. Default is 4 set it to 8. Find network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server If you dont use a proxy server then try this. Default is 2 change it to 4 or 8. |

Those last can be used on a broadband connection (xDSL or Cable) as well.
The settings are also in a default windows configuration and can be used with Internet Explorer as well. |
