Well I was going to try it when I got this message:

Thank you for your
interest in Google Web Accelerator.
We have currently reached our
maximum capacity of users and
are actively working to increase
the number of users we can support.

RE: Google Web Accelrator by Joe on 09-24-2005 at 02:52 PM

I had it at one point. It helped, so it said, but i saw no change.

RE: Google Web Accelrator by Ash_ on 09-24-2005 at 03:11 PM

this thing is extremely old. me and -dt- used it like a year ago. nice to see they've allowed more users to use it. not.

RE: Google Web Accelrator by hmaster on 09-24-2005 at 03:12 PM

it had some flaw or something in it, didnt it?

RE: Google Web Accelrator by saralk on 09-24-2005 at 03:17 PM

its not too great, i used to have it, but if you are an admin or moderator on something it can be pretty destructive, because it works by pre-fetching pages for you, however, it doesn't differentiate between delete buttons and stuff, so it could end up deleting your stuff.

Sorry for posting this, I thought it was new

RE: Google Web Accelrator by -dt- on 09-24-2005 at 03:32 PM

Had it ages ago it saved me 30min of internet loading time
got rid of it ages ago though due to having to do special things to activate it in trunk builds.

RE: Google Web Accelrator by mwe99 on 09-24-2005 at 04:36 PM

RE: Google Web Accelrator by Nathan on 09-24-2005 at 04:42 PM

Just installed...

It originally said that it had reached its max capacity but I went to a page that explained how it worked and then when I returned it let me download it. The same exact thing happened to a friend, try it :tongue:

Perhaps Google is trying to limit the service to those smart enough to check how it works before downloading :tongue:

Indeed it is

Imagine WDZ in PMA (phpMyAdmin) checking out the forum's DB, and Google Web Accelerator executing TRUNCATE and DROP commands to save him browsing time! :dodgy:

Poor forums...

They wouldnt be here now...

But wdz backs up the DB reguarlly...

RE: Google Web Accelrator by Nathan on 09-25-2005 at 06:46 PM

RE: Google Web Accelrator by paperless on 09-25-2005 at 08:20 PM

I sent them an email requesting Opera compatibility :blah:

RE: Google Web Accelrator by TaKYoN on 09-26-2005 at 02:39 PM

LOL I sent them a mail telling them it slowed my browsing down. Mind you this was some time ago and the app may have improved.

I hated it cos it would often not display the pages right, would miss things out and then tell me how fast it is.

Well, on testing sites I have never visited before it was way faster to not use it, never did find out why.

RE: Google Web Accelrator by Chris4 on 09-27-2005 at 06:36 PM

Uploaded it to my webspace if anyone wants it:

http://tdn.byondspeed.com/GoogleWebAcceleratorSetup.msi
