Using FireFox or Mozilla? Changing this setting will load most pages 2-4 faster
 

Some of you probably already know this "hack", but for those of you who doesn't, try change this in your browser

First, go to the adress bar and type about:config

Scroll down to this entry :

network.http.max-persistant-connections-per-server

This should be set to 2 if your settings are default, try changing this to 25..

Try to compare loading a site like http://www.teeniefiles.com/main.htm before and after the change and magic will happen in front of your eyes ;)

I seem to recall doing this a few years ago, but I don't recall how you change it

thank you very much :)

pretty cool..is there a setting for IE?

Pretty insane performance difference eh? :)

Never mind, figured it out. For those that don't know, highlight and double click

Yeah, I think the same thing can be done with IE... try give it a search

woohoo! thanks bisko. tis kuhl!

:thumbsup

thats pretty cool, thanks :thumbsup

yea, it makes things faster, but it rapes the server badly too, don't be surprised if your ip starts getting banned all over the place... :-/

Simple really. In the address bar type "about:config" and a list of a whole bunch of options will display. In the area where it says "Filter:" type "network.http" and it'll list only the entries with that word in it.

Now left click and highlight the option:

Right click on the option and click on modify:
http://www.nnteenmodels.net/gfy/7367...ork-http-2.gif

Enter in the new value and click OK.

Close browser and restart or continue surfing...

It is very correct that this isn't exactly the servers favourite kinda visitor ;) But I've had this turned on the several months now with no problems at all

Damn! Great tip biskoppen.

I've had the "hack" running for nearly 2 years. I haven't been banned anywhere.

Man, this site really loads fast now: http://nats.nationalpornographic.com

:1orglaugh

Nice one :pimp

Doesn't seem any faster to me.

Sorry, forgot to add that this won't work with a "can attached to a string" internet connection :pimp

j/k

Don't knock my 5kb-per-minute connection.

thanks though

Fucking amazing now everything loads faster when you find

network.http.max-persistant-connections-per-server double click on it to change the number to something else.

Hehe :thumbsup While I was cutting and cropping, you already answered the question.. oh well!

GFY sure seems faster now

You can also use the addon called 'Tweak Network'

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/327

Works great for this and a few other important settings.

Heard about this tweak awhile ago, but you had to mention Teenie Files to actually get me to try it ah!

It does show some improvement here (not majooooorrr) over the default 8!

Doubt that will be the case given Firefox seems to come with "8" as default, in worst case scenario you should have the same loading speeds = no improvement!

bump.......

I have a 10mb and don't really notice any big difference really

thanks for the tip :)

wow this is great
gfy is loading faster now!!

thanks:thumbsup

number of connections to the server is controlled by some Indian dude, Apache I think his name is.
if Apache says you get two connections then thats all you are going to get. don't make a shit what the browser asks for.

just use this plugin, it does the same thing:

http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/

Thanks!!!!!!!!

It is also possible to do in IE. Some sources claim that the below settings won't work in XP SP2 and above, but the original KB article at MS doesn't mention these restrictions.

I changed it I hope I dont get banned anywhere! lol

wow mine was already at 35 and has been I guess as long as I have had this computer prob 2+ years so yeah I am not blocked anywhere that I know of

Mine was set at 2. I changed to 25 and GFY has never been faster.
