| 404507 | 2005-11-15 08:47:00 | Downloading... However, it says that it is optimized for broadband / cable Internet, so I am not too sure of its performance over dial-up connection. Cheers :) |

| 404511 | 2005-11-16 04:37:00 | Google Web Accelerator has caused a massive havoc with my Sygate Personal Firewall Pro to the extend it has even managed to disable the loading of SPF (users can't manually shut down the firewall as it is tied down to the system)! Although I had reverted back to the point before the installation of GWA via System Restore, my firewall still refused to startup and some error message appeared proclaiming that smc.exe has caused some memory clash. What I did was uninstall GWA and reinstalled SPF again - took me the whole morning (I thought there might be some virus etc. roaming). Cheers :) |

| 404513 | 2005-11-16 07:26:00 | Yeah, I realise that it is in Beta stage at the moment, but I didn't really expect it to bring BIG unnecessary trouble... Cheers :) |

| 404514 | 2005-11-16 07:31:00 | Uh....The point they are trying to make is that it doesn't even work,and cant work outside of the territories they listed, So why do you have it at all? | Metla (12) | ||

That's Proxomitron Metla. I just downloaded it and it certainly does seem to speed thinga up. Even Press F1 ! Thanks for the tip. |
