Google Web Accelerator is an application that uses the power of Google's global computer network to make web pages load faster. Google Web Accelerator is easy to use; all you have to do is download and install it, and from then on many web pages will automatically load faster than before.

I have installed it.
Load faster? Maybe, it said 7.6 seconds saved. Books I studied said more wider bandwidth make loading faster..., Loading speed depend on the bandwidth.
I will try

I have tried it, and I must say, I did not experience much augmentation in the loading time of pages or in downloading. Maybe it could be that their Canadian servers are not very powerful and have not properly cached enough data yet. It's not very reliable as of yet. For now, I have uninstalled/deleted it. If anything, I could only spot slight slow-downs.

I wanted to try it out ... but (as always) i was too late. They've reached the maximum capacity of users and it's not available for download anymore

oh, well *sighs*, i'll have to wait

I'm thinking that it probably uses some sort of technology which compresses previously viewed web pages alot like ie does now but because it doesnt tell you and you dont get the option to delete, they can tell you that its really clever algorhythm stuff and btw this was not because somebody asked "so how does gwa work?"
