If your using windows (most people do) and your running IE (which most people do), then go download firefox here: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ Now for those of you who do have firefox, this will make it run a lot faster: If you have DSL/cable or anything higher then 56K, then you'll notice a big diffrence. 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! Hope it worked, well it should. |

Not seeing much of a difference other than when loading 6 pages at once, but then again it was blazing before. |

o.o' sorry? THANK YOU for bumping this! XD Just wondering, does this have anything to do with a Router? Or is this just the browser? |

I made it 150000000 for network.http.pipelining.maxrequests is that safe for me to use? Will it crash any of the websites I'm viewing? haha |

if you do that, you'll slow down everyone else that uses that site. and you'll slow down that site itself, sucking its bandwidth like a vampire. :smithster: |
