Comment Free Web Accelerators (Score 3, Informative) 323
There are two free software projects building web
accelerator proxies. One is RabbIT . The other is ziproxy. They are both web proxies which do not require any special software on the client side. They both compress HTML by gzip, and compress images into lower quality JPEG's. RabbIT is written in JAVA whereas ziproxy is written in C. RabbIT has more features than ziproxy, such as caching and removing ads. Give them a try if you're using a slow line!
