On my computer it was doing the same thing and saving the most amount of time on the sites that I told it to not accelerate. That in combination with the security concerns i have heard about made it seem a bit sketchy so I have deleted it for now but I plan on reinstalling it when I begin to hear better things about it.

Setup a home proxy connection, you will save your self more time then running somthing like that images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Not really. The proxy still has to download the page to see if it's changed. With Google's server's, they're uber fast and only have to send you a few bytes to say it hasn't changed.

well, I was at 9 hrs - and I've recently been having hell on my internet - constantly not working; sth dling at 60kbps using all my bandwidth; crash after crash. So installed ZoneAlarm to try and find out what it was. And there we have it - it was Google Web Accelerator - not sure what it was doing but it was accessing private ports on my computer and using all my bandwidth. So, as soon as I uninstall it, all my problems go away and I once again love using my computer. Thanks for that google - cunts!

Overheat, they worked out all the security risks with it? Like the people that were being logged into other people's accounts and such?
