BlazingFire456 Posted January 7, 2006 CID Share Posted January 7, 2006 I am using the Earthlink accelerator to speed up website loading. The websites load super fast because of the compression. However when I actually download a file, it seems the data rate is much slower when accelerator is on. Usually I download at about 5.5kB/s but with accelerator on it downloads at only like 2-3kB/s. I know turning it off fixes it, but it gets annoying after a while. Does anyone know whats up with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyswhirl Posted January 7, 2006 CID Share Posted January 7, 2006 I would assume the file you are downloading is allready compressed, so you have nothing to gain by using the accel. But you are still stuck with accel overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boywonder Posted January 7, 2006 CID Share Posted January 7, 2006 I believe tony is right, acts the same as NetZero I have mine blocked by my firewall from even loading. You can find this tweak among many others provided by ROM-DOS at http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=9452.0 This tweak will help web pages load faster, it has no real effect on download speeds, your pc will look up websites faster, speeding up how fast the page loads.

ROM-DOS Posted January 7, 2006 CID Share Posted January 7, 2006 TRY STAC compression (aka Microsoft Software Compression) goto Control Panel > Network Connections in Connection Manager, right click on your Dial-Up connection and in General (tab) under Connect using: (your modem) click on Configure and [un-check] Enable modem compress hit OK now open Networking (tab) and under Type of dail-up server I am calling: (PPP;Windows 95/98/NT4/2000,Internet) click on Settings Enable all three settings, including > Enable software compression hit OK and re-boot This is the BEST compression available, it searches through the data sent to you and looks for repeated information and buffers it so you don't have to download that data again.
