nufc4ever 0 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 (edited) http://forevergeek.com/open_source/make_firefox_faster.php I was very dubious but it works a treat. This forum loads much, much faster than it used to. Edit - See Andy's post further down to see what you think.

nufc4ever 0 Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 If you read the article it seems very straight-forward, you're just telling Firefox that your connection is fast enough to get information from a webpage in several chunks at the same time rather than one-by-one. That's how it sounds to me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 0 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Seen this a while back. It makes a noticable speed difference, but it does this by absolutely hammering the hell out of the server it's connecting to. 30 requests multiplied by the number of users doing this = a LOT of strain on the server (bearing in mind that 5 requests p/user is typical).

peasepud 59 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I also read that it works by automatically emailing your soul to the devil. Still at least you dont need an Ocean Finance loan to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
