Well, IW is loading really slow, and I don't know if its because of traffic. I have a great connection for what i have (56/k modem). So does your connection help load things faster, or is it because there is traffic.

I've been wondering about that too...

It's your connection.

Delete your Temp Internet files once in a while!@ [img]tongue.gif[/img]

And try the web browser Opera it is darn fast! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I didnt know there was any speed advantage to doing that. And in any case if there is youd lose it by having to re-downlaod all the background art and signature pictures.

Exactly, your temp internet files are like cache your comp uses so it does not need to reload every single piece of info on the screen. Deleting your temp internet files will only result in much slower page loading. Heck I'm on a T1 connection and I never delete them.

But still it can be useful to delete them sometimes. Especially when they´re using about 498Mbs of space ;) As for speed, no idea... If there´s a lot of traffic where you´re connecting it may be a bit slower to load pages... For instance if all of Toronto used the same internet supplier and everyone in Toronto were online at the same time, I think my connection might drag a tad :D

Don't ask me how that works technically .. because u guys seem to know that better ..

But my information on this is at best "second hand" .. so if they were lying(misinformed) then so am I!@
