Google Web Accelarator

Hi guys

One more updation from google.

Google web accelarator has come go and check it out i have downloaded it.Sounds good. Try it out now.

 

I already Have it Dint work as great as it should have

 

Download link: http://webaccelerator.google.com/

 

It never works

 

I'm on dialup (I live in the middle of BFE Tennessee) and the last I checked the google web accelerator was optimized for highspeed access. So for me it's a loss-loss situation. I'm still stuck slow, and all the fast people get faster...

*cries*

 

Works fine for me, I got about 5 seconds of average speed improvement *shocked*

 

Does this really works ?

 

Yes, been using it since 18 - 20 mins and it saved me 3.4 minutes already (at least it says so) and I can even "feel" a bit of acceleration, or maybe its just an illusion

 

Time Saved is Money Earned .. lemme have a look on what actually it does

 

Well this is better software for Dail-up users not for us who used high speed Internet. Try this software if you feel you are on slow connection.

 

on the link it reads ::
Google Web Accelerator is...
• Designed for Broadband – Web pages load even more quickly on DSL and cable connections
• Easy to use – Simply install and enjoy faster web browsing in seconds

 

This has nothing to do with slow connections, its actually about caching and making things overall better accessible.

 

True, I tried it with different installations using dial-up, ADSL and broadband and things went worst

 

Did you ever take a look in the upper right-hand corner of your browser? That is where you can see the time saved per total sessions. It is for sure working, maybe at different levels for each connection, but at least for me its working.

 

My suggestion to users dling this, DONT its not worth it, it stores all pages in cache and sometimes when the page has been updated, it doesnt show it fat enough, speed without accuracy is not worth it.

 

Can you please rephrase that? I don't understand what you mean by "fat". And where is this tool not accurate?

Regards

I haven't seen it in any server logs for over a year so the IPs may have changed.

Ok. Thank you for that information. These accusations look pretty tight, I think I will consider having some second thoughts

 

Sorry for the typos, im on my laptop cant type as good on it, anyway i meant "FAST"

And i mean, what this tool does is store all pages on your memory and everytime you go to a new site it checks the online page with the one on your hard drive if its the same it loads the one from your hard drive

now that part works like a charm

but if the page has updates it takes 2-3 refreshes to see what i want to.
Its really a traffic killer for big sites.

 

What about privacy problems? I am a bit on the paranoid level and wouldn't like big G or anyone else intercepting my displayed pages and creating marketing data out of them or worse - injecting content into what I display.
