Hi all, I need some help to find a way to speed up my Internet Explorer Page downloads. I have been told that I can use a Web Accelator, but I dont know where to look or find one. And to be completly honest I have no idea what I am really looking for but with what I have already said at the start.

Hey dude, you can try searching on google for Web Accelator. Anyway, I would recommend Opera browser for surfing webpages as it loads pages faster then any other browser. It is said to be the fastest browser on earth. It is also Free but supported with small adds. To remove these adds, you got to pay a little. http://www.opera.com You can also try google web accelerator. This program caches pages so it does not have to reload again. It also downloads new pages at the quickest possible time. Free but in beta test period. http://webaccelerator.google.com Some reviews to consider : http://www.buildwebsite4u.com/articles/fre...elerators.shtml http://theboost.net/ Hope it helps.. Happy surfing..

Thanks for the advice. I will give them a try and hope that they will do what I want them to. I have heard about the google one before and told that it was no good and I couldn't find a download link for it. But I will give it a go and see what happens. Thanks again.

You can also try Web accelerator 1.1 by DefendGate, that I currently use right now. it's a freeware so don't worry how thick you pocket.  You can download it HERE. Here are some key features of "Web Accelerator" from the official website: · Slim and stylish web accelerator interface that is un-obstructive and fully moveable to your preferences · Works with existing dial-up or high-speed Internet service · Internal web acceleration features to speed up your web surfing experience · Fast access to Google cache for accelerated page loads · Slim and stylish desktop search interface that is un-obstructive and fully moveable to your preferences · Accelerated web search that provides accelerated access to 20+ popular search engines so you can find information fast. · Full-text accelerated file search access to your hard drive(s) using the same integrated interface as your web search · Accelerated access to 19 popular news titles so you can find news fast Have a nice surfing

Anyway, you have to know that this program will spend more space on your drive. It makes faster surfing because it saves memory in caché, so if you donīt have a HDD with some free space I suppose itīs not a good option. But I havenīt proved it... tell me if Iīm right. And in this case, how much space does it need? Thanks

i dont think web accelerators really accelerate transfers ... what the really do is to save the websites that you visit the most in your hard drive ... so the next time you visit the website some parts of the website are already in your hard disk and theres no need to wait for the transfer .... a suggestion i can give you is to configurate your FireFox, if you use firefox ... or if not download it and try it ... i found this config is this forum but i really dont remmember where  sorry ... and if this is someones post all the credit is for youQUOTE Here's something for broadband people that will really speed up Firefox: 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" * Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" * Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. 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. If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now! there you have ... try it ... as it said ... it will work better if you have broadband

If you want to buy a very good comercial web accelerator for you to optimize yourself your tcp settings or in an automatically way, i use this one: Webroot Accelerate

[right][snapback]166510[/snapback][/right] I currently use the Google Web Accelerator. It stores pages on the computer so the browser doesn't have to download as much of that website..., which means that the page will be displayed faster. You can find it here Google Web Accelerator Download Link
