go check this out its the firefox hack and it is nice makes pages load way faster but only for firefox

[omegatron]

by the way this is working for me just great i hope this anit illegal ( stealing from charter)

[thetieger]

wow, that actually sounds like it could really work, utilizes the broadband connection better...wonder why the people at mozilla didn't do this in the first place :crazy:

I'll post again when/if i try it :p

whats firefox

[thetieger]

whooo!!!!!!! I just did some digging around and found a hack that does the same thing for IE! it's pretty sweet, what it does is instead of IE only requesting 1 or 2 things at once, it requests 6, which works awesome if your connection can handle it! my internet is blazing now, I'm surprised I hadn't heard bout it before :D

so for anyone with Internet Explorer, and a FAST connection, DL the attatched File, and right click on it and hit merge it's a reg file (nothing bad in it i promise)

Thnks to staple from IRC for the help :)

works for mozilla aswell, since firefox is based on mozilla
From the site

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!

Nice! JSUt did the firefox one!

[Dark_Killer]

awesome find!

im seeing about a 5x speed improvement.

[omegatron]

yeah yeah all is nice i havent tried thetiegers method because i dont run ei but i guess i could try

Oh yeah it works

[omegatron]

ok alias that is a copy and paste to what i posted... also to l3ig3ang firefox is a web broswer in manye ways supieor to internet explore, all the needed infor can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ and you can dl all the needed files just set firefox to be your defualt browser and never look back... you will want to look into dl certian extentions such as view in ie, adblock, googlebar, tab clicking options, and flash got.. i have many more and sdo can you just go to the site

does this work for dail-up and is this basically what netzero highspeed does?

[omegatron]

no this is only for broadband because the dial up modem whouldnt know what to do with 30 packets of info it would just bottle neck

[cheatinpete]

what netzero highspeed does is it caches pages and when you goto that page it checks whats outdated or changed and it only downloads those items, there are plenty of free programs that do this like AnalogX's FastCache (http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/fc.htm) which works pretty good on broadband too. If you can shell out 15bucks a month for the netzero highspeed you can probally shell out 30bucks a month you live in NJ right so do I, they have this promo you can get a wireless router/modem combo when you get DSL with verizon they doubled the Cap from 1.5mbps(megabits) to 3.0mpbs(megabits) which is on par with most cable modems plus DSL is more reliable and you'll truly get 3.0mpbs unlike comcast where if your signal strength aint that good or your area you get around 2mpbs like I do :-/ thats why im switching after new year

hmm I don't think that's what netzero does, I thought they compressed the website then sent it to u then you uncompresss blah blah blah speed improvement....

the cache u speak of, IE already kind of does...

Nice speed hack, I just switched over to Firefox!

[omegatron]

your welcome but i didnt come up with it

What firefox i believe is like the marketscore service where its like a proxy that speeds things up I bvelieve they chache or compress it as you said

[omegatron]

same idea only better found at reptilerooms.com forums
1. find network.http.pipelining double click it so it goes from "false" to "true"
2. find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests double click it and change it to 100
3. find network.http.proxy.pipelining double click it so it goes from "false" to "true"
4. find network.http.max-connections double click it and change it to 60
5. find network.http.max-connections-per-server double click it and change it to 32
6. find network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy double click it and change it to 16
7. find network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server double click it and change it to 8

it makes a pretty noticible difference and i thought i might as well share it with you all
\this allows faster connections to more things.. ppl who used the first method should see a dif with this one

[omegatron]

ok i have realized that for me this does not affect my dls or my bandwidth tester.... and on another note i am paying for 3.0mbps speed but my bandwidth tester shows up at 2.40 to 2.60 ... how do i get all that im paying for

[thetieger]

Nice speed hack, I just switched over to Firefox!

yeh cheatinpite, sounds bout right :)

This may not be a good idea to use if your connection is already fast. Websites can take it as a DoS attack and your IP can be banned. If you are using it keep the connections low.

[thetieger]

hmmmm, hasn't happened to me yet, been using it for a couple weeks still runnin' strong ;)

No problem for me, I have dynamic ip address. They can ban me but all I have to do is reconnect and my dsl change ip.

has anyone tried adding the /PREFETCH:1 or -prefetch1 on to the firefox extention ( some forum said this would back firefox start up faster how do i do this and make it work
