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 have just instaledgoogle web accelerator, and so far, it seems to have made mt internet run slower. I hope things will inprove when i restart my computer, or as i use it more.
Anyway, its only the BETA version, so hopefully, the full version will be better!

Google Accelerator is really a failure, at first couple of uses you notice some increase in speed but as you browse more web pages, articles and images it will get slower and eventually be unbearable. If you want to speed up your internet then you should upgrade your bandwidth from your ISP, that would be your best option really.

What isn't google going to make? They make everything, it's brilliant really. Soon they may even take over Microsoft lol!

There are several pieces of software which do this (som can be quite expensive)
The way it works, is their servers download the information, compress it, and send it to your computer which unzips the information, and displays it.
this can increase broadband speeds by up to around 400%
but id be interested to see that google have created a version of it.

woo - this is my 100th post!!

If you want to speed up browsing, get a good hosts file. It will block all the ads that could slow things down

    Google's Gmail - have supported (and in some cases, required) the use of Firefox. Since March
