You suggested methods for possibly speeding up the size of downloads from their file library, which had nothing to do with my comment that the website itself is slow-loading. One of the most common causes of a, "slow to load", site is for the serving site to not have enough bandwidth available. Thusly, I offered that using BT will improve the site's available bandwidth (latency to boot) because it helps shift the bandwidth burden away from the serving site. Thusly, leaving more bandwidth for serving pages. I did state that, "slow to load", can mean so many different things. You never once, in spite of my comment, offered more detail. The fact that you're talking about running FS2004, means that you should have a fairly reasonable computer, thusly, "slow loading", should not be related to your computer's speed, unless you have serious problems (virus, trojans, or spyware perhaps?). For me, the site loads lightning fast and I don't have a super powerful computer. That leaves us with two primary canidates. One, your pipe is too small, which I addressed, and two, the server pipe is too small, which I addressed. Both of which, you seemingly rejected. If on the other hand, the data is getting to you and the page is simply not being rendered in a timely manner, in spite of the data being available, it *suggests* that you have problems with your computer. One option, as I provided (which should address your crashes too), is to install mozilla or firefox (http://www.mozilla.org). For many websites, mozilla, and especially firefox, are able to render pages more quickly than IE. While technically, that's not, "slow to load", it is often confused as being one and the same. All of these facts are why I not only addressed your comments, but why Peter is currently scored very, very low in my reader and close to becoming part of my kill file. Thus far, Peter is proven that he knows enough about technology to be dangerous and no more. Hopefully this addresses your comments and questions. Sincerely, Greg I should also add, that my comments assume that you have enough RAM. Greg |
