Browser with download accelerator technology

[Ricky]

Hi.
Well I am looking for a browser which do same thing as the download accelerator do !! ie downloading a file in part, I am sure that will do a great job as these dayz web pages are having lotsa stuff like flash animation, big pictures, big scripts.. So if the broswer can do that then we will have a great browsing enhancement.

Not sure that if current browsers like firefox using that.. but had read somewhere in a magzine .. (may be digit or pcquest) that there exist a such browser , they had given name of that but now dont' remember and also dont remember which mag was that.

So geeks here (non-geeks are also invited) suggest me in this regard..

Tell if there is any such browser using such way !

Do you mean browser with integrated download manager?. Then use firefox. But it's download manager is slow but has resume capabilities.

[babumuchhala]

Opera is what i feel servers ur needs.

[rajkumar_personal]

Opera is the ultimate solution for UR problems

[cheetah]

Opera or firefox with extensions.

[vysakh]

OPERA
in opera if all you do is download, you get maximum bandwidth

[koolbluez]

FIREFOX + Flashget/LeechGet/ + FLASHGOT = Ur browser with download accelerator

[Ricky]

You all have messed it ..

Man I know what are download managers and what are browsers.

I mean is there any browser which do retrive a webpage in parts like download managers do for a file. Say you have 400 kb flash animation , then downloading in 3 parts make it easy and fast..

Thnk what i m trying to say !

[swatkat]

i think there r no browsers with Multi Threaded inbuilt downloaders.....some Website extractors/copiers (offline browsers) have multithreaded downloading capability.....

[parthbarot]

opera gives more speed then any browser in dloading any file...resume supported...

[swatkat]

oh...he is not asking abt download performane of any browser... he wants to know any browser with downloader which supports multithreaded downloading support....

[Ricky]

Well here is actual thing..
in a usual html page it is made up of small parts divided already so no need of using multi threaded download but as now things have changed, heavy graphics - multimedia in pages so I had seen a browser listed in pcquest magzine a few time ago.. now I donno which edition was that and I don't even want to touch pile of magzines i have..

So i want to know if any browser there uses such technology ie multithreaded downloads for a webpage ?

[Charley]

I dont think so

[Ricky]

Well , there is such browser !!

[vysakh]

which

[a_medico]

lynx text only DOS based browser?

[rachitboom2]

Well Opera, Fire Fox and Smart Fox are what you need !!!
Hey but why do you want them, just use a thrd party Download Accelerator like DAP !!!

[goobimama]

I think Firefox uses multiple pipelines or something like that isnt it? In one of those tweaks, there was an option to increase the number of pipelines used to....stuff like that....

No dude the tweek was to increase the number of pipelines used during surfing the internet and not downloads !!!

@rachitboomshankar: exactly what I was saying. I don't think...the original poster...wants to have faster download speeds for downloading files like mp3s or EXEs. He wants the browser to download a page with simultaneous connections. Now tell me, doesn't that pipeline thing download a single web page with simultaneuous connections?

Oh sorry I didnt read the original post carefully !!!

[Ricky]

Ok.. I m on firefox since its launch.. Now tell me from where we can increase NO. of simultaneous pipelines ?

[Darthvader]

Firefox tweak

For those that didn't know about it...

Go to the address bar and type in " about:config "
Once it comes up, look for the following lines:

network.http.pipelining = False
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 4
network.http.proxy.pipelining = False

And replace with (Just double click the line to change it)

network.http.pipelining = True
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 40
network.http.proxy.pipelining = True

Then create a new integer (right click>new>integer) and paste this as it's name:

nglayout.initialpaint.delay

Set the value to 0 (zero), as this is the time between firefox receives the data and displays it.


Anyway remember to lower the max requests as it really strains the servers.

[devilhead_satish]

Darthvader can you tell me what it exactly does?
