Freeware, here are some that I have used. First, to help speed up the internet here are two small programs. What they do is put web addresses and IP numbers in your Host file, which is in your windows directory. In the very old days of the internet there was no DNS server, if you wanted to go any where you had to set it up in a host file. Your internet browser still, looks first in this file for the IP number. If the address of your favorite sites are there, it will save you 2-3 seconds at least. I use the first program Webquicker to add sites to the host file. A problem with using a host file is if the site moves, you will get a server not found error message. When I get that message or once a week if not sooner I use the second program CIP V5.00 to up date all the addresses in the host file. It does this very fast.Here is a url for Webquicker. Hope I did this right! http://elmo.winsite.com/free/freeutil/page16.html Here is the url for CIP500 http://www.simtel.net/pub/pd/35603.html
