hi all :D

 

came across this it works well on my pc thought id share it with you guys hope it helps 8)

 

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll

down and look for the following entries:

 

network.http.pipelining

network.http.proxy.pipelining

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

 

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.

When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really

speeds up page loading.

 

2. Alter the entries as follows:

 

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

 

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

 

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This

means it will make 30 requests at once.

 

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.

Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0".

This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

 

If you're using a brodband connection you'll load pages 2-3 times faster now.

Huuuuu ... be carefull what you are doing.

 

i'm sure the server admins everywhere love this tip...

 

Definitely they are not and it caused a lot of probs on the continent.

It is still working when using firefox and IE 6.0 or lower.

 

Using IE 7 you get just one answer for weeks now:

Communication with the website is blocked

 

Many providers give the strict advice in the meantime to make no use of it (although absolutely legal) because too much requests in total might outnumber the capacity of the networks.

 

I'm no technician and can't controle whether that's true or not, I can only report the situation over here. ;-)

 

Sorry, correction/addition: In between I got the information that from all M$ browsers access to the corresponding sites is blocked at least since mid of January 2007 ... :-(
