shaktiman Senior Member United Kingdom 1226 Posts	Posted - 14 Jun 2002 : 05:35:43 I am using Netscape 4.0.8 & ASDA wont let me onto thier website :-/ That isnt the reason I posted, the reason I am posting is cos whilst browsing using Netscape 4.0.8 It tends to say loading 96% at 3.1k or somthing similar and then the computer halts for anything between 10 seconds and 2 mins in fact no I have had a frozen computer for 3 or 4 mins. Can I prevent this? I am looking also for some ftp software as I want to upload my web page. But do I upload it to....... I will find that out whilst running the software perhaps? shaktiman

It appears to me that netscape creates a cache but the it spend a long time looking through the cache when it would be just as fast for it to search the web, I have therefore provided for a very small cache and i deed although this has not made my computer perfect their is a marked improvement in performance. shaktiman

You've probably noticed that the stalling occurs with larger pages more than with smaller ones. Only a faster processor will shorten the delay. Try WebFree, as discussed in your Speeding up Netscape post. A good FTP program is Fetch. You can get a free web page host at http://www.topcities.com/ and upload your page according to the instructions. Be sure to call your front page index.html or it won't work.

SiliconValleyPirate Junior Member United Kingdom 273 Posts	Posted - 15 Jun 2002 : 15:30:21 It is well known that on OS 7-9.2.2 some browsers do have random freeze episodes. I have exactly the same problems on a 7300/200 w/ 384MB RAM so it's not his CPU. It is a very fine balancing act getting the size of the cache right, so I am told, to prevent these occuring regularely. I personally have only expereinced it in IE 5.1 PPC in 9.1 but it is known to effect Netscape more-so and other browsers too. -- Mark Benson FlatPackMacs http://fpm.gotdns.com 2nd Lieutenant - 68kMLA LC Quartermaster Flat Packing Macs for 68k MLA airlift excercises Macs Liberated = 14!
