General Issues when Using Shipley GoFast Web Accelerator
-
Why does my downstream "Bandwidth Savings Ratio" appear to go below 1.0?
Accelerating your bandwidth channel incurs a small amount of transmission overhead. In most cases, this overhead is negligible when compared to the actual bandwidth savings provided by Shipley GoFast Web Accelerator.
However, strange interactions between Internet Explorer and certain plugins (such as the old versions of the Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin) may cause documents to be unnecessarily downloaded twice. It is important to note that this type of behavior occurs regardless of whether Shipley GoFast Web Accelerator is used. The Accelerator is merely showing the download statistics in these situations.
-
Why do some Java-applets (such as certain games on www.pogo.com) not work?
Older versions of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) cannot display certain image types (such as 'PNG'). To fix this problem, simply set your image slider to the maximum quality level or upgrade to the newest JRE.
-
I'm having trouble loading a site. What should I do?
Try adding the site to Shipley GoFast's Proxy Exclusion List.

After installing Shipley GoFast, I received a message saying Email Acceleration is disabled. Why did that happen?

I can't right-click on an image to get the "Original Image"?
Some web sites disable the right-click using javascript. On other sites, the image in question may be a background image. To see the full quality image, change the image slider to "Full Quality" and press Ctrl-Refresh in Internet Explorer.
