Default Re:Really long page download times

Hi!

Another thing to check in Netscape is how often you refresh a page in the cache. You set this preference on the same window that you clear your cache.

From the top Netscape menu: Edit . . . Preferences . . . expand the Advanced tab . . . cache . . .

I have mine set to "when the page is out of date" You can always click refresh/reload to get the latest if you think it is not updating messages.

You may also want to see how much space you have allocated to your disk cache. I increased mine a long time ago and it improved performance.

At one time, I also had a heck of a time with a couple of sites when I was using Netscape 6.0 and was advised to clear all cookies and start over again. Cookie settings are accessed under the Privacy and Security tab under preferences.

Good luck getting this resolved! I know I prefer Netscape over Internet Explorer by a great margin.
