Speed up your internet
 

Type in the Address Bar; about:config

Then scroll over to the following settings and adjust:

network.http.max-connections :40
network.http.max-connections-per-server :20
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server :20
network.http.pipelining :True
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests :32
network.http.proxy.pipelining :True

All you have to do is double click on the line to type in the new number. It's not hard by any means. One you do that close your browser and reopen then start clicking around. Should almost double the speed :D

Do you know what the default settings are in case I need to restore them? :eek:

Does not appear to work in IE7.

When I type in the command, I get a message about navigation cancelled.

:confused:

ummm....i have firefox, so no worries here. IE7 is better, but 6 just blows.

IE7 works a bit differently... If you have vista (not sure if it works for XP), follow these instructions and omit any one that you feel you still need (turning some svcs off)....

You can also edit registry key values to speed up IE6/7. Use caution, messing up registry keys can cause system errors on your computer or even prevent it from starting. Go here for instructions: http://www.consumingexperience.com/2...rer-7-ie6.html
