I am in desperate need of a dial-up accelerator. I don't mind paying for it-as long as it is safe software-that I can download right now and start using.

I just moved (to the middle of nowhere) where nothing but dial-up is available. I go to college online and just spent the last 2 and a half hours!!! loading the nessessary 4 pages just to get to class! Coming from road runner to dial up.........I'de rather shove a pen into my eye. Please, please help!

Download accelerators don't really work. All download accelerators do is reduce/compress images. This causes pages with lots of images to appear to load quicker. However you're not actually increasing your connection speed.

That said, if you still want to try one, I'd look on Snapfiles.com and see if they list any.

Well, i presume google web accelerator is safe.
The thing is if your line is crappy no possible software can do to much.

You could try Google's and also try Tune Up Utilities which has a system optimizer for internet connections.

These two combined could be of some help although i doubt it.

Try though, you never know.
Maybe wireless connections could work... Or gsm?

no longer likely to take place! If it became achievable, we would not have moved far off from dialup. Sorry to be unfavorable, yet those acquire accelerators are no longer plenty use to your objective. They artwork via fetching different links on the internet website you're at present viewing so as that as quickly as you click the links they open quicker as they information has already been downloaded. They artwork ok on web content that are quite often textual content textile with some small photographs. there is yet another form of acquire accelerator that connects you to the internet web content via their very own servers. those servers compress the information from the originating website earlier passing it to you and likewise artwork nicely with textual content textile based web content with some photographs. the subject you have is that maximum song and video is already heavily compressed. you won't be able to compress something that is already been compressed, a minimum of no longer via any precious quantity. you're able to try this your self. Open your general document zipping application, eg: WinZip. Now try zipping a JPG image and an MP3 sound document. as quickly as carried out, look at how plenty smaller the zipped copies are in comparison to the originals. Now you spot the subject? All WinZip or WinRAR etc do is compress documents, and as I stated in the past you won't be able to compress something that is already compressed. yet whether you will desire to, you won't be able to probable acquire information any quicker than your dialup connection can run at, this is around 7Kb according to 2d optimum. Any utility salesman that tries to tell you otherwise is telling lies, ask them to demonstarte utilising already compressed documents like .WMV and MP3 etc. beware in the event that they show utilising .BMP photographs or .WAV sounds, those will compress.

Dial-up accelerators only speed up the flow of data slighty. You hardly notice it. :-)
