Google's Web Accelerator

[~Lil JinX~]

I know I know, its not exactly new...but I just noticed this nifty little tool in the google labs. It lowers the web page DL time like crazy! Its working extremely well so far ^_^ The counter says that Im saving up to 17 seconds of loading time.

Heres how it works:(copy+pasted from the site)
Sending your page requests through Google machines dedicated to handling Google Web Accelerator traffic.
Storing copies of frequently looked at pages to make them quickly accessible.
Downloading only the updates if a web page has changed slightly since you last viewed it.
Prefetching certain pages onto your computer in advance.
Managing your Internet connection to reduce delays.
Compressing data before sending it to your computer. Heres teh link : http://webaccelerator.google.com/

Duh. On my DSL it had no effect. But it has one more :cool: feature that is ip-hiding. If you tend to visit any site which tracks your ip then u can use google web accelrator to change your ip to google's! Sites will not block google ip as google is a major search engine. :)

Nope. It is only for Windows users. Not for we linux users and tux-fans.

For Windows users, see this tut for configuring GWA on ur PC: http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52081
