| 352220 | 2005-05-13 20:16:00 | Google has suspended its Web Accelerator due to privacy and security issues only 6 days after its launch. More at The Register (www.theregister.co.uk). The Web Accelerator site (webaccelerator.google.com) just says that they've reached their maximum capacity of users :p Not surprising really. Mike. |

| 352222 | 2005-05-14 05:39:00 | What's the point of caching frequently accessed pages onto google's server? It's just changing where you download the webpage off isn't it? Is google that much quicker than other sites? If it just cached stuff you visited to your local hard drive then it would be ok. I don't see the point of downloading everything off google. Way I see it is, google want's a record of what everyone on the internet is downloading. |

Way I see it is, google want's a record of what everyone on the internet is downloading.It comes down to local (domestic) data vs international data. Google has hundreds of thousands of servers all over the world. If they can cache frequently accessed pages on those servers all over the world, then when pages that they have cached are accessed through their servers then the data can be delivered faster than if the data is actually retrieved from the other side of the world. It also eliminates slow and unreliable servers as these don't need to be contact etc. Google already caches millions of pages on their servers, so I guess the web accelerator project was trying to make more use of that caching setup. I hope that makes sense? Mike. |
