The Accelerator has been through rigorous third-party testing to ensure that:. It runs on most Microsoft® Windows™-based PC systems, including virtually any new PC purchased within the last 4 years. It does not in any way interfere with other software or applications that you use. Please check the requirements below to make sure your PC will work successfully with the PenTeleData Accelerator:Download Information:. File Size: Approx.
The Accelerator is designed to provide maximum acceleration for the Web sites you visit regularly. So, the more you surf, the faster your favorite pages will load! Specifically, Accelerator speeds up the delivery of Web pages in three ways:Compression:.
Accelerator delivers text and graphics more efficiently, using a proprietary compression technology that significantly reduces the size of Web pages and page elements sent to your browser.Caching:. Accelerator improves upon your browser's caching ability. Accelerator intelligently retains and reuses Web pages and page elements that have previously been sent to your PC.
That's why the longer Accelerator is in use on your PC, the faster your Web pages will load.Persistent Connections:. Accelerator uses proprietary techniques to carefully manage and optimize the communication between your modem and our network of servers through a persistent connection.
This eliminates the time wasted re-establishing and closing TCP/IP connections. Web page performance is measured by the amount of time it takes to download an entire Web page into your browser. So, when comparing the performance improvement delivered by Accelerator with an un-accelerated Internet connection, we configure two identical computers. Both are connected to the Internet at the same dial-up connection speed and both have the same PC and Internet browser configuration. Using an automated browsing measurement tool (i.e.
A surfing 'bot'), both computers visit the same Web pages multiple times. In order to eliminate variations in download speed caused by various network factors, we take the average times for downloading the same page with and without the Accelerator. The two averages are then compared in order to determine the improvement factor for a specific Web page. Accelerator is an affordable software-only solution designed to significantly enhance Web access over low-speed (less than 200 kbps/second) connections. By contrast, DSL and cable modems provide high-speed Internet connectivity using hardware solutions that work with special telephone or cable lines and are usually much more expensive than accelerated dial-up.Accelerator is a good option for those customers who do not want to purchase high-speed Internet service or who live in areas where high-speed Internet service is not available.

Accelerator IS compatible with most ad blockers, popup stoppers, personal firewalls, and other utilities. In some cases, minor configuration changes are needed. Unfortunately, there are some cases where Accelerator is not compatible with other applications.PenTeleData's Pop-Up Stopper and Norton Internet Security 2003 are compatible with the Accelerator.Some applications may require small configuration changes to work with the Accelerator. Below is a list of documents we have created to assist you in configuring some of these applications to work with the Accelerator. To enable or disable the Accelerator, simply click on the small green box with the blue 'X' located in the Windows taskbar by the system clock. If the Accelerator is enabled, the menu item will appear as 'Disable Accelerator.'
If the Accelerator is disabled, the menu item will appear as 'Enable Accelerator.' By default, the Accelerator is enabled, meaning that your Internet experience is accelerated. When you choose the Disable option, the Acceleration Service will be bypassed and you will access the Internet at regular speed.NOTE: Even if the Accelerator is disabled, the Accelerator menu is still active. You can check performance or change settings in 'Options.' To completely inactivate the Accelerator, choose 'Stop Accelerator' from the Windows Start menu.
