Title: How to make FireFox 20x faster
Post by: VenomX on April 13, 2007, 02:04:05 PM: This is completely safe, apparently.

Quote
- Type "about:config" in the address box
Scroll down and search for these things.

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally there's 1 request at a gate. if u set the maxrequest higher. it will download through more gates, and it will go faster.

Change it to these settings.

- put "network.http.pipelining " op "true"
- put "network.http.proxy.pipelining" op "true"
- put "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" On a numer like 20.
He wil do 20 request at a time ! so it's 20 times faster ! WOW!

- As last click New --> Integer
Give it the name "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and put the value on 0

//Edit: WTF? It's really faster and i don't got a message yet. So i gonna use that now.

Post by: Spoofy on April 13, 2007, 02:22:36 PM: It is faster but does it qualify as overclocking your computer?
Title: How to make FireFox 20x faster
Post by: JayFoxRox on April 13, 2007, 02:23:11 PM: wooo opera has these settings as default... Make sure you also change the same settings for your networks card tcp interface... caue that.. will make the whole internet faster - games too etc (smaller ping)

you might want to change the mtu too - google around

VenomX: Nope. cant break your hardware - its only enabling more connections at once - though, most sites either block multiply requests or it crashes your firewall (only bad ones lol) and such..

Post by: Mickey! on April 13, 2007, 02:35:21 PM: i put mine on 100 its noticeable , since mine was on 4 before
Title: How to make FireFox 20x faster
Post by: JayFoxRox on April 13, 2007, 02:37:25 PM: Torque: Nope, it will only allow more connections at the same time - but remember that some providers dont like that - thats also why they hate p2p
Though, some servers need callback ports - windows has 1 opened port by default which cant be closed, when setting more connections using pipelining you might want to open up more ports (which is a security risk)

Torekk: A german tool is called like DFÃœSpeed (DatenfernÃ¼bertragungs-geschwindigkeit), its able to change these settings - though, be carefull with them. Tuneup also has such features - just google that stuff.
(Setting a higher MTU (Maximum transmision unit) will allow bigger packets to be send / received which means that your downloads get slightly faster, but also ping packets of games/transfers would be collected until a higher lenght for the packet is reached to reach the mtu which will make a higher ping and more timeouts). Also windows does have a maximum number of connections setting.
Then your hardware has a limit too - check the network tab in your system control and hit "configure" - in your internet/lan connection, in the advanced tab some hardware can be configured - other companys (like 3com) normally only allow that by flashing the chip (which could bring your card to the nirvana)

Post by: VenomX on April 13, 2007, 05:00:42 PM: Oh, and if anyone cares, I set mine to 1,000 and it was fine for a while, but then it broke FF...no webpages were loading. So I had to go back into it and set it to 30 again, and now its all working okay.
