Difference between browsing and downloading?

Typically, BROWSING is what happens when you jump from one site to another, reading content or looking at pictures. In normal browsing, limited content is downloaded to your computer - usually in the Temporary Internet Files area or into a cache, depending on your browser. This is used to speed up pages that you visit frequently. You can set up most browsers to delete these temporary files on a regular basis, or to even delete them whenever you exit out of the browser.\n\nNow DOWNLOADING is what happens when you intentionally (and sometimes accidentally) request for a file to be sent to your computer for permanent storage. Normally, you have to click on a link/button that starts the download process and then you are given the option on your end to either save the file in a certain location or open the file after all of it has been received.\n\nRecently, ad-ware and spy-ware programs will install and download content by tricking you (an ad saying "click here to scan your computer for viruses" and such). Some less-than-scrupulous adult sites have begun to use this same technology. It would be wise to explain to someone what happened on your computer and have them go through your hard drive with a fine-toothed comb to make sure none of the content you came across was saved in the dark recesses of the computer.

firefox isgood as it shows contents as they are download . it even shoes partially downloaded pages which Opera doesn't . so as you are having a dialup connection with less speed opera will result in a delay and therfore FIREFOx will be the right browser for you

Some websights are intensive when it comes to what they have to download to your screen. I would try doing two things. One, increase the size of your Temporary Files folder within your IE explorer. Then I would check your advanced tab of the explorer options to make sure it is checked for viewing images and videos in web pages.

Other than doing what is already posted, you should consider an alternative browser. I recommend using Mozilla Firefox.\n\nThe system requirements can be found here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/system-requirements.html\n\nYou can find the English language Windows version of Mozilla Firefox here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/\n\nIf English is not your native language, you may find your language here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html . This page also has versions for different operating systems.\n \nFirefox allows you to configure whether you want to see images or not. You can also configure it to only show images that are hosted at the site that you are browsing. You can  configure it to show/block images on a site-by-site basis. There are Extensions ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/ ) which provide additional options. There are also extensions which can accelerate your download speed. In fact, there are hundreds of extensions which can enhance many aspects of browsing.\n\nBelow, I've listed links to other popular alternative browsers. I don't use them so I can't tell you about them.\n\nAvant Browser - http://www.avantbrowser.com/\n\nOpera Browser - http://www.opera.com/

Get a service provider that has a "web accelerator".  Basically, it takes the web page you're currently looking at and previews all the links on that page, then starts to load them in the background.  If you click on a link, then that page is already partially downloaded.

I am very fond of a program called GetRight, which can do multithreading, segmented downloads, mirrored downloads, you name it.\n\nhttp://www.getright.com/

Files get downloaded in bits.  The computer takes those bits and formulates a file out of it.\n\nTherefore is you get pauses in the middle of the download, that means there's either a problem with the download and you computer is trying to decifier what's wrong, or there's a problem with the file itself.  There's really no way to fix this.\n\nAnother thing is to make sure you're getting adequate bandwith while download being that this does fluxuate during downloads.  As well, any other processes running on your computer eating up the processor and the memory can attribute to download slowness and delays.

Tools / Internet Options / Settings / View Files...\n\nSort by type and you will see (among your downloaded internet files) your cookies as text files.

Well, if you have an always on internet connection like DSL or Cable, just use dictionary.com or thesaurus.com. Then, you do not have to download anything.

As a matter of fact I believe it does. Instead of download, try to use a broader term ie. "bandwidth". Any application that seeks internet connectivity uses some bandwidth. Messenger too uses some bandwidth. Does so more if you're video conferencing but uses hardly a couple of mbs after a day's text chatting.

I will explain it for you. Connecting to a wireless network means you would not be using any physical media but the connection exists. However, when compared to wired, wireless is a bit slow. When you connect it to a different LAN then the downloads can get faster however it depends on the other users using this LAN. IF you are dedicating it only for downloads then a wireless connection would suffice. However, if you wish it is a bit slow, then I recommend you to go for the LAN.\n\nSreeVenkatesh.I

If it's something your browser doesn't know what to do with or can't read, it will prompt you for a download/open box.\n\nYou can also right click on a link and choose "Save as..." to download the link.
