How to Double your Internet Explorer Speed

[aznboy]

By default, IE allows only two simultaneous download sessions from a single Web server. This can affect the speed of your Web browsing, because you’re not able to simultaneously download all the objects that make up a Web page, so the page displays more slowly. If you could force IE to download more objects at once, Web pages would display more quickly.
A tweak to the Windows Registry does the trick. With this tweak, you can force IE to use more than two simultaneous sessions. A good number is 10. Here’s how to do it:

1. Run the Registry Editor by typing regedit at a command line or in the Windows Vista/XP Start Search box.



2. Go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet 
Settings.

3. Choose Edit –> New –> DWORD Value.



4. Create a new DWORD value called MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server



5. Double Click on it and Give it a value of 10.



6. Choose Edit –> New –> DWORD Value,



7. Create another DWORD value called MaxConnectionsPerServer

8. Double Click on it and Give it a value of 10



9. Exit the Registry and close IE. When you restart IE, the new value will be in effect and your Web browsing should speed up


Note
If you want to experiment with fewer or more than 10 simultaneous connections, change the value in both DWORD values accordingly.
Credit goes to the guy that came with this :P Got it from my friend

FIREFOX:

1. Type about:config in the address bar and then press Enter.

2. In the filter search bar type network.http.pipelining. Be sure the value field is set true,if not double-click to set true.

HTTP is the application-layer protocol that most web pages are transferred with. In HTTP 1.1, multiple requests can be sent before any responses are received. This is known as pipelining. Pipelining reduces page loading times, but not all servers support it.

3. Go back to the filter search bar and type network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. Double-click this option and set its value to 8.

4. In the filter search bar and type network.http.proxy.pipelining. Once opened double-click on it and set it to true.

5. In IPv6-capable DNS servers, an IPv4 address may be returned when an IPv6 address is requested. It is possible for Mozilla to recover from this misinformation, but a significant delay is introduced.

Type network.dns.disableIPv6 in the filter search bar and set this option to true by double clicking on it.

6. CONTENT INTERRUPT PARSING

This preference controls if the application will interrupt parsing a page to respond to UI events. It does not exist by default.
Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Boolean from the pop-up menu. Then:

[img]http://bp2.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfpfAtwcHNI/AAAAAAAAAdE/ApQWl6-wEgk/s400/6a.jpg[/img]

A. Enter content.interrupt.parsing in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK

[img]http://bp3.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfpfX9wcHOI/AAAAAAAAAdM/EuIvc-dn5sQ/s400/6a.jpg[/img]

B. When prompted to choose the value for the new boolean, select true and click OK

[img]http://bp1.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfpfndwcHPI/AAAAAAAAAdU/f-vOPJ98Sto/s400/6b.jpg[/img]

C. Rather than wait until a page has completely downloaded to display it to the user, Mozilla applications will regularly render what has been received to that point. This option controls the maximum amount of time the application will be unresponsive while rendering pages.

Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

[img]http://bp2.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/Rfpg0twcHQI/AAAAAAAAAdc/ahzYSA4gSqU/s400/7.jpg[/img]

A. Enter content.max.tokenizing.time in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK

[img]http://bp0.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfphONwcHRI/AAAAAAAAAdk/6bvNkIrAOcw/s400/7a.jpg[/img]

B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 2250000 and click OK.

[img]http://bp1.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfphkdwcHSI/AAAAAAAAAds/gwTHiTHPaUA/s400/7b.jpg[/img]

8. CONTENT NOTIFY INTERVAL

This option sets the minimum amount of time to wait between reflows. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

[img]http://bp2.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfpjOtwcHVI/AAAAAAAAAeE/XE0Fj87E7NM/s400/8.jpg[/img]

A. Type content.notify.interval in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.

[img]http://bp2.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfpjZtwcHWI/AAAAAAAAAeM/U-ECmI0j4h0/s400/8a.jpg[/img]

B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 750000 and click OK.

[img]http://bp2.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfpjitwcHXI/AAAAAAAAAeU/lqBfbHYizcA/s400/8b.jpg[/img]

9. CONTENT NOTIFY ONTIMER

A. This option sets if to reflow pages at an interval any higher than that specified by content.notify.interval. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Boolean from the pop-up menu.

[img]http://bp0.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfpkUNwcHYI/AAAAAAAAAec/9EIx1MzX9hc/s400/9.jpg[/img]

B. Type content.notify.ontimer in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK.

[img]http://bp2.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfpkttwcHZI/AAAAAAAAAek/ZQf4_H75FGA/s400/9a.jpg[/img]

C. You will be prompted to choose the value for the new boolean. Select true and click OK.

10. Notify Backoffcount

This option controls the maximum number of times the content will do timer-based reflows. After this number has been reached, the page will only reflow once it is finished downloading. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

[img]http://bp2.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfpmjtwcHbI/AAAAAAAAAe0/PL1VtxDODLU/s400/10.jpg[/img]

A. Enter content.notify.backoffcount in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.

[img]http://bp2.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfpmutwcHcI/AAAAAAAAAe8/ORzF3-eBDuA/s400/10a.jpg[/img]

B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 5 and click OK.

[img]http://bp1.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/Rfpm9dwcHdI/AAAAAAAAAfE/inMPdoOe4vA/s400/10b.jpg[/img]

11. CONTENT SWITCH THRESHOLD

You can interact with a loading page when content.interrupt.parsing is set to true. When a page is loading, the application has two modes: a high frequency interrupt mode and a low frequency interrupt mode. The first one interrupts the parser more frequently to allow for greater UI responsiveness during page load.
The low frequency interrupt mode interrupts the parser less frequently to allow for quicker page load. The application enters high frequency interrupt mode when you move the mouse or type on the keyboard and switch back to low frequency mode when you had no activity for a certain amount of time. This preference controls that amount of time. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

[img]http://bp2.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfpnhtwcHeI/AAAAAAAAAfM/MOsAR0OF4z4/s400/11.jpg[/img]

A. Enter content.switch.threshold in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.

[img]http://bp1.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfpntdwcHfI/AAAAAAAAAfU/f_TfSEhbhJE/s400/11a.jpg[/img]

B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 750000 and click OK

12. NGLAYOUT INITIALPAINT DELAY

Mozilla applications render web pages incrementally, they display what’s been received of a page before the entire page has been downloaded. Since the start of a web page normally doesn’t have much useful information to display, Mozilla applications will wait a short interval before first rendering a page. This preference controls that interval. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

[img]http://bp0.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfpooNwcHhI/AAAAAAAAAfk/4-IfoExL5Xo/s400/12.jpg[/img]

A. Enter nglayout.initialpaint.delay in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.

[img]http://bp0.************/_sl6NwIwHw-Q/RfpotNwcHiI/AAAAAAAAAfs/yoHMpukNV-c/s400/12a.jpg[/img]

B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 0 and click OK.

Enjoy.

keep in mind this doesn't always work because the server side can, and usually does limit how many external connections are going to one IP.

[aznboy]

Well i am using it and it is faster than when i haven't done this

I will look that up for you

[aznboy]

UPDATE: Firefox. Got it from my friend from pspiso and he wrote this tutorial. Don't know if this is a repost on the firefox part but here what is included:

It includes:

-improved tabbed browsing
-pop up blocking
-integrated Goggle search
-enhanced privacy controls
-built-in phishing protection
-online spell checking
