Is Openbrowse/Openrouter always this slow ?

[hj2k_x]

why are you when that is the root of the problem...?

I thought that torrents and huge dls were gonna be stopped. I am talking like 1meg apps here....

It's called OpenBrowse for a reason, I am sure.

Now no sites are working for me

so what would happen if everyone had to d/l 1mb apps at the same time?

looking at http://webaccelerator.google.com, how about setting something like this up for openbrowse. Local bandwidth bypasses the proxy as usual.. but for international u hav an option to compress the data. U setup and international server to do this and pull it in using the local proxy.. so u save bandwidth on the local proxy and so does the user

The proxy already supports standard "HTTP 1.1" compression (text content gets gzipped) but you first have to configure IE to make use of it:

From IE select Tools->Internet Options->Advanced
scroll down to HTTP 1.1 settings and enable the "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections" checkbox

If some sites don't display properly (most work fine) you should disable this option again.

PS: you can also speed up your OpenRouter browsing by enabling the "Blocked Hosts" option (on the Blocked Hosts tab) which will block adverts and malware sites.

I was thinking more of an option to degrade the quality of images on the site.. similar to the saix accelerator the dialup ppl use. Obviously we should hav the option to turn this off... but i wouldnt mind having crappy pics on the site i check my email at for eg. It would be faster and save on bandwidth

That's a great idea... MrBEEP?

 

[MrBEEP]

I REALLY like that idea as well!

It is most certainly being considered!!

Thank you bro. Keep the suggestions coming!

It is a good idea, just a sad indictment on south african dsl that we have to degrade our internet experience to make it more affordable and go faster

About ppl dling with openbrowse proxy

They use anonymous proxies to dl with openrouter...

There are ways to speed up firefox without the help of accelerators. I have a few ways I'd like to share that definitely made a difference on my openbrowse browsing.

1.)Go to Tools > Options > Content ... then untick " Load Images Automatically ". This helps to load pages in double the speed. If you want to see the image then, simply right-click an image and use the available options to make it load.

2.)When using firefox, go to the adress about:config. network.http.pipelining. Which I don't know exactly what it does, but it speeds up the loading time with nr.3)

3.)While still on about:config, search the name - network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. Change the value to 8 ( I think default is 4 ) which makes more simultaneous connections to webpages. This runs better at faster dsl's eg. 384, 512, etc.

I hope this made your browing easier!
