Google Web Accelerator - Speed up the web!

free web hosting

I stopped trying those accelerators along time ago as well. There are only a few ways that a piece of software can speed up the internet and they all have to do with your ISP. Beyond that, they are just a waste of system resources, saving every page you look at for recaching or using different network paths. I've always tried to keep an internet connection that doesn't put me in that kind of bind....

Google Web Accelerator - Speed up the web!

sharpz
I was searching from google a couple hours ago, and i noticed a link on the bottom that said 'New: Google Web Accelerator (Beta)". I was instantly curious, and here's what i found: http://webaccelerator.google.com/support.html .
It looks like a proxy that automatically crawls through pages and downloads things you will encounter next, speeding up the browsing process. It even has a monitor of how much time you saved. Im installing it as im typing this, and i will update on how it is.

apparently this software was an absolute waste of my hardisk as it did not increase my speed by a nanobyte but instead made my experiance on the internet slower.

I do not exactly know why it might be only my computer or it might be meant for only dial up or slow speed internet users, but even so it is similar to the experiance I had with google desktop, which guzzles your ram.

but if anyone else has different opinions and experiance I am not disagreeing with them I am just stating my own experiance.

Sam2698, agree'd...i downloaded it and it made it slower lol, unless you are really desperate in trying to speed up your internet, i would suggest trying it but it will more than likely not work...or atleast it didn't for me..and that is two people....maybe you need to do it in Internet Explore...i did it in firefox...

i think you have to let it crawl for a while or something; it cant just produce pages from no where. i think it does the work while your idle like deskbar maybe ..

When I got it, it worked great for like the first 5 pages. Then it was really slow. I restarted firefox, and it worked great for 5 pages. Then it was really slow. I restarted firefox...

I have heard about this before. I think it is particular useful to countries with strict censorships (censorship is wrong, no matter political or pornographic). I also have friends with connections fast locally but get unbearably slow overseas. Web-accelerator is best for them. As far as I am concerned, I have quite a decent connection, so I have not considered using it. One of its problems is that you often get logged in forums or other places in others’ credentials, probably something wrong with the cookies and thing. And if there is a robot.txt at the site, some of the directories may become inaccessible by the accelerator.

Google Web Acclerator is there for years.

I wonder what it is up for. This is the only thing I really disliked among all that Google provides.

It is just worthless and no use. It didnt even increase my speeds by a single percent.

Hope Google will rectify this and will provide something which will be of more useful.

Well it is web Acctelerator, it cannot just create you a fast connection, it can only make it "better"
And if you think that it slow down the connection reasons maybe its becouse made for "slower" connection wink.gif or it is made for dialup...
But why would someone especialy Google gave some product that just vaste your hard disk space nad ram memory...
Im not realy into those web Accelerators but they probobly dont work for everyone.
btw its still in beta... google is whole in beta ( except search ;P)

From what I have heard there are quite a few security problem with this tool such as people being logged into others accounts when they view it with the accelerator. I used it for a while but I didn't notice any difference between the connection speeds so I just uninstalled it.

I tired google accelerator and I personally don't really like it.

Doesn't it use some RAM? I used it for a day and it didn't really work for me. The speed was still the same......sadly......I don't believe you can "accelerate" the internet. It depends on the internet you pay for monthly or the one you are leeching off of. Correct me if I am wrong.... =)

I have used google desktop and love it, just a comment, let it index your hard drive, then its doesn't use so much ram.

I'm not sure how long some of you tried these for, but I was reading on the site (No I haven't tried it yet, I'm a mac user and there's no release for mac yet.)

To my understanding from what I read, it's the idea of keeping saved versions of your most frequently visited pages, and each time you visit them, instead of re-loading information you've already seen, it only loads the changes. I suppose for something like that to work you'd have to use it for at least a week, if not longer.

Just my 2 cents worth.

I don't know it really is, but it sure didn't increase my internet speed.
After downloading it, i ended up sacrificing a chunk of my hard disc space, with nothing really in return.
I doubt if it's meant for internet speed increse.
