In the movie, Clint just threw open the thrusters, but it burned way more fuel doing that.

Downloading for Dummies? Surely this can be changed.....?
From Firefox site:
Hassle-Free Downloading
Files you download are automatically saved to your Desktop so they're easy to find. Fewer prompts mean files download quicker.
To: Ready4Freddy
It can be changed.
I like that feature. Internet Explorer used to be infuriating when you go to download something, and rather than save the file where you last saved something, it places the file in some whacked 'temp' directory.

That's why god gave us rt-clk / save as in IE.
To: KoRn
But thanks for the info - it would be nice to have a default folder for downloads. I don't like IE's 'last folder used'.

(What about Cable?)
To: jaco
Cable is considered Broadband.
To answer you question though, it would overwhelm a dial up connection, and actually have the reverse effec, slowing things down.

Many thanks -- my FF now flies. If you want to see the difference, revert the settings then load
Freeper Billie's Home Page and then time it both ways; there is a marked difference in page loading.
(Hope you don't mind, Billie -- but you have a great page to show this difference.)

Do me a favor - flush the cache, set the cache size to 0 and re-run it with and without pipelining enabled.
