I use firefox and I was wondering if anyone knows what to adjust with fasterfox. Fasterfox is just an extension for firefox to make it faster. There is a custom setting where u can adjust these categories: Cache, Connection, Pipelining, Rendering and Pop-Ups. I was wondering what I can do with fasterfox to make my connection faster. Thanks.
Ok here is one from bandwithplace.com Speed
3.5 megabits per second
Communications 3.5 megabits per second
Storage 421.7 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 2.4 seconds
Subjective rating Awesome
I guess that shows that this sites test doesnt work 4 me cause i cleared my cookies and history and temp internet files like 10 times and i got that other speed of 2000 somethin kbs
and i got this one from speak easy.net
Last Result:
Download Speed: 2987 kbps (373.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 347 kbps (43.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
OK I AM f***ING TELLING YOU HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED:
I got home and went to sign on AIM and it wasnt working. So then i tried internet explorer and that wasnt working so i called Comcast. Right away theres a recording that says Sorry we are applied maintnence to the site and you will not be able to acces the internet. That lasted for 2 days. Then it finally was working yesterday. Today I went to download a movie that was 45mb and i clicked download and then i went away cause before Comcast would download 1 mb in like 2 minutes so it was going to take a while. Then I come back and check on it and it was already done and it said it took like 5 minutes to download. I was like holy sh*t, so then I went back here to check my connection cause before my connection speed was poor for the avg speed and it was like 15kbs/sec. Then I tested it and it was faster. Ok so what im saying is maybe since my connection was down for 2 days and all other Comcast ppl except for a few were down for . When they were trying to get my connection up and running again they gave me more bandwidth or something they did made my connection faster.
O and one more thing the testmy.net results were off cause I just downloaded something and it was like 500kbs/sec and the results said like 2000 something so its not my fault but thats really what it said
I'm out Be back tomorrow

I got a couple questions:
Can you slow down the connection for the test if you are running like AIM
If I disable my firewall will it get faster
Do accelerators and tweaking really help
And should I try the manual file downloads to be more accurate?
ok u cant really see that my bad but wait one sec im gonna go downstairs and kick my sister off the computer so i can show u im not lying. And what do u mean by cached? I know what a cache is im not retarded but i just dont know what u mean
Ok fine if you don't believe me look at this i downloaded nero for the small file test and its on a pentium 3 laptop with a wireless card so its a slower connection and look how long it took!!!
