Does this actually make your internet faster?

Even if you have Broadband already

Subhanallah i hate these hard questions...:cry:

I think windows internet explorer

[Ebtisweetsam]

Well bro it was actually designed to make speeds on broadband faster, so yeah :) I think it tweaks the networking interface and not the phone line itself, which makes it faster without really depending on the type of internet you have...:hmm:But I guess we don't really need to know that.

I just downloaded it and the problem is i gotta change to firefox.... and that was slow as.

So should i agree to change?

[Uthman]

You should download Mozilla Firefox Inshaa'Allah.

not movie/mp3 dowloads but only browsing the web by caching next page while you read one ( Enables Prefetching)

[Ebtisweetsam]

Yep, firefox is what makes it faster :D Have you already got firefox?

Coulda, shoulda, woulda....:D Had it but i uninstalled it:cry:

[Ebtisweetsam]

Another cool firefox user :coolious: Once you get firefox, I'll help you to make that faster as well insha'Allah. :D We'll send you the bill later. I don't give free advice to women...

Kidding :D

My computer stuffed up after installing it and is slower than ever.... jazakallah khayrun for the advice... i think you owe ME money now!:giggling:

[bint_khalid]

sis if your on dial up it will take agesss to install firefox. i use firefox too and its faster than internet explorer.
the only thing i can suggest is to go on websites that have more text and less pictures because it will load faster. but i cant help you in watching youtube videos faster :S

People who have Mozilla Firefox as their browser can download an add-on called 'Fasterfox' here.

A summary of it's features:

• Performance and network tweaks for Firefox.

• Fasterfox allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial paint delay.

• Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with the unique prefetching mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and caching all of the links on the page you are browsing.

• A popup blocker for popups initiated by Flash plug-ins is also included.

When i tried to download this, it wrote it cant run with win32.... does anyone know what i have to do now???

[Ebtisweetsam]

You just weren't meant to have a faster connection on dial up :cry: my condolences.

So what are you saying , there is no hope for me?:grumbling

[------]

:salamext:

I'm staying well clear of Vista until another 5/10 years :-\

[Ebtisweetsam]

A Win32 problem probably means there's something wrong with your version of windows...You're not on Vista by any chance :offended:?

Uhh, NO! Im not that rich...

[Ebtisweetsam]

:sl:

lol yeah, don't think it's 5 years though...I say just wait until Service Pack 1 where they fix all the bugs and problems. :hmm: I'll keep you lot updated insha'Allah :D



They give it to the poor to make the poor, poorer imsad

Well im not that poor.... I cant even get this little problem fixed, and im working on opening up my own clothing web site:uhwhat Wat was i thinking????

[Ebtisweetsam]

Well what's stopping you? I made a clothing/tailoring site for my mum using blogspot.

Give it a try, you don't need much of a fast connection to do it...As far as I'm concerned.

Mashallah, thats great, but im actually using a company that have made up all different sites, and i can choose one then add all the info i need to, on it.

But i have started over and over again for reasons like my pics wont uplaod onto the site, or my head banner needs to be converted to, for example, a pdf file. Its annoying, you gotta have alot of time to fiddle around with it all.... Alhamdullah.

[Ebtisweetsam]

Oh right, complications. lol.

In that case can't you get someone else to do all the jobs that are heavy on bandwidth like uploading pictures etc. While you do stuff like adding the text. Or find somewhere there is a fast connection and use those computers for that. Like an internet cafe for instance.

Well i can use the library and take my USB with me.... can you checkout this site please: http://sitebuilder.hostdomain.com.au/wizard/index.php

This is the company im using to do my site with. So if i got to the library, for example, id have no trouble uploading this type of thing??

[Ebtisweetsam]

You don't need to upload to a USB for that :confused: Isn't it one of those types of sites where you can just log in from anywhere and edit your site.

It did say:



So once you're at the library, just follow the link insha'Allah...Or am I missing something out here?

Yeah but i meant the pica i want to use from my own home computer, dont i have to put those on a USB, and then take that to the library, and upload them onto the site there? Cos its not working at my home. I do have a new computer, i just dont think i have the right programs for the job:confused:

Jazakallah khayr brother, this worked. So what do i install on top to make it faster?

[Ebtisweetsam]

Oh right, then yeah upload the pics onto your USB. It's easy to upload the pics, just go into the 'edit' stage and click the insert image icon. [

Which program are you using? Photoshop is a little confusing at first but once you get the hang of it, it's really awesome!

:sl: Yeah but u know what the problem is, I went to the library and even though it was twice as fast, i had this same problem, when i wanna upload my own pics onto the wesite, they say they're too big. Is there anyway to shrink em (must be about 3kb)?

Also i have photoshop, but i dont know how to use it.... and its gotta be one of the following: http://download1.swsoft.com/SiteBuil...help_type=user
So is that possible if i forced myself to learn to use photshop :hmm: ?

Sis, did you try to download it using firefox itself or did you use internet explorer? You should download it with firefox.

Brother the problem is, my hotmail (email Address) is connected to Windows Live Messenger, and when i read all my mail, then they all show up as Windows IE... so what do i do to fix this. I did install firefox, but it doesnt even show at the bottom rioght hand corner, like goggle used to:cry:

[Ebtisweetsam]

3 KB :uuh: Urm, you could change the formats, but you're going to find it really hard to reduce to 3 Kb. It'll be really really tinchy lol.



eeks :X So complicated lol...Urm, when it comes to photoshop, just experiment using trial and improvement. And I think you might just be able to achieve 3Kbs per file, when you save using photoshop just play around with the quality options to be the lowest possible.



:uuh: Whaaa? Did you set firefox as your default browser? :hmm: Don't use windows live mail if you're on a slow connection!!

:w:

:sl: Mashallah, that is alot of info to take in brother, so enshallah i will try to fix one at a time. Jazakallah khayr may Allah reward you!
