chase56 Posted April 6, 2006 CID Share Posted April 6, 2006 I just dowloaded it and was getting around 6-7mb on my cable sometimes 4 and now I'm getting 8.5-9mb. I was just wondering if any one has had a problem with this program cause it seems like it's too good to be true. So far it works awesome though.

dlewis23 Posted April 6, 2006 CID Share Posted April 6, 2006 I just dowloaded it and was getting around 6-7mb on my cable sometimes 4 and now I'm getting 8.5-9mb. I was just wondering if any one has had a problem with this program cause it seems like it's too good to be true. So far it works awesome though. it does that because it caches stuff on googles webservers, and your local computer. so it speeds up everything. even downloads from here. i have a 6mbps connection, and with the google web accelerator i get 12mbps. in the options there is a place were you can add sites, to a list so they wount be cached.

FallowEarth Posted April 6, 2006 CID Share Posted April 6, 2006 The Google web accelerator does not accurately portray the true speed of your connection. If you want to know your true speed, you will have to disable the accelerator for the speed test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j3grizz Posted April 7, 2006 CID Share Posted April 7, 2006 How do you like the Google web accelerator? Is it worth the download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted April 7, 2006 CID Share Posted April 7, 2006 How do you like the Google web accelerator? Is it worth the download? it works is you have a slower broadband connection. but there is really no benefit on a connection that is over 2mbps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j3grizz Posted April 7, 2006 CID Share Posted April 7, 2006 I may try it then. I have the 1.5down/384up. But I have managed to acheive speeds around the 2.0Mbps mark. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. it might be worth a try, i would do it. just remember to add testmy.net to list of sites to not accelerate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
