My 200MBps fibre connection runs at about the same speed when download via LAN or WIFI. I can't get it to go any faster.

Well, you're supposed to overwrite the old directory with the updated files and not create a copy alongside. It's in the FAQ.

Quote:

That makes sense then. It’s the change of cache size that was holding it up opening.

I’ve since deleted the Curl folder and it starts up instantly.

Thanks for your help.

I’d agreed with the others that there is a definite speed increase with 1.7. I was using it today to buy Christmas presents with no issues. Worked great on eBay and PayPal.

When i remove the column 'destination' from the downloads tab this setting doesn't remain. The column comes back the next time. As it is not required to see this can we get it removed or otherwise the columns layout be stored?

Also,
the settings are not stored globally in the system, so when i install a new version next to the old one instead of replacing it i need to adjust all settings once more. Especially the 'third party cookie' thing and the download folder.

That's some slow connection...🤪

Great! Thank you! I successfully tested it today. I can download files without any problems. (see screenshot)

Quote:

I've set cache to 0 , deleted the curl folder and it starts immediately ( Given, I have a SSD ), previously it took about a minute to start.

Next test, I've set space to 1gb and will see if it slows down again in time.
Question, will Wayfarer handle the curl directory correctly to do clean ups when it hits the threshold of said limit in the settings?

Can we get a 'Downloads' button somewhere, maybe right next to the url field, please?😉

Is there a way i can test my USB caching speed? I guess once Microsoft did this with Readyboost it must have benefits?

I can't complain at v1.7 being slow. It feels faster than v1.6 did. That is on a G5 running it from a 2,5" HDD, no SSD involved.

Was only a bit astonished default cache settings were 4 GiB. I set it to 1 GiB, not that I noticed any difference in speed. In-Memory Cache Setting is balacned.

I try it anyway.🙃
But i cannot make the USB partition of SFS type, only FAT and so on.

Ok, dit it. Had to create RDB first.

Reducing size may take a while.

Quote:

You can softlink it whereever you like. That said, USB will likely make it a lot slower. If performance is an issue, I suggest you set the disk cache size to 0, quit Wayfarer, then delete the Wayfarer/Cache/curl folder. An SSD would likely help too.

Is it possible to reroute the cache location to, lets say, an USB flash drive? Would that matter?

Quote:

Thanks but it actually got a lot worse when I dropped the cache from 465meg to 60meg. Plus 1.6 and 1.7 are both running on the same drive.

I’ll reinstall 1.7 tonight and see what happens as it did seem to slow down after being on the web for around an hour this morning.

I’ll also have a go at defragging the hard drive when I get a chance.

Quote:

Disk fragmentation / very large cache / not enough disk buffers would be my bet. Nothing to do with 1.7 vs 1.6.

Nice update, @jacadcaps, thank you.
It is still running nicely on my iBook.
html5test.com reports 365 of 555 points scored, of course all video/audio is missing, obviously.
And it recognized MorphOS☺

Edit
browserbench.org/JetStream/ javascript test seems to bring my machine to a halt, full CPU load and no finish of the test in sight...

I installed 1.7 last night on my G5 and the loading time for starting it up is now massive. In fact it went over 5 minutes twice and I simply rebooted.

I've still got the 1.6 download on a separate partition and that boots up almost instantly, so not sure what the difference is.

Just thought I would put this out there.

I am really impressed. What you do for our little community is unique!!

A minor update to 1.7 is now out.

Implemented an optional online version check
Added a Safari/iPad spoofing option
Tweaked to save settings periodically after edits
Added Local Storage and Application Cache settings
Enabled Application Cache
Worked around servers that compress file downloads
Fixed a crash when opening host settings from menu

Written it down.

Yo Jaca, google maps works again for me, thanks for fixing the bug :)

In my experience, it's noticeable faster than previous version on my G4 1.6Ghz.

Will you implement side scrolling with mouse?

Also, is it possible to have an option for scrolling height selection? Ie. one option with how it works currently and an option for half the pixel distance (like it's on OWB)?

Basically like I 've stated in the past OWB creates the effect of smooth scrolling, so I think would be cool :)

Btw, gmaps with satellite view of Athens region consumed 600MB (that was a damn one tab, only!) and needed around 2 mins, topping 99.99% my cpu consumption.

Boy, how times have changed on the internet requirements.. :/

Always had the secret hope that Wayfarer will be the final push of our OS port to x64 with some added features :)

This community is weird, seems a lot of topics are being totally derailed with trivial things that gets some people so worked up.

Why should topics be polluted by this nonsense and not stick to the topic at hand?

Thanks jaca for the new version, much appreciated! It's running well and I haven't picked up any issues so far.

Several people have had a go at your for your sentence formation not being clear.

I fixed your sentence to make it clear to them.

Common internet parlance is to refer to people who nitpick at other people's grammar as a "Grammar Nazi". Grammar Stasi is a play on words. It's very clear.

I'm sure there are many people on this forum who live or have lived in a former Communist country (Such as myself). Can't see anyone else taking offence but you.

@ Intuition - even if that was in support of me, whch is not at all clear - as the only member on here that you name in that comment is me, NewSense - no-one else, so how is that supposed to be interpreted?

I'll take it from what you have now said that it was not directed at me . . . but it should not be directed at anyone on here, and please don't go down the 2nd paragraph route either as that does not help the situation in any case.

Well that went straight over your head. Wasn't even aimed at you, it was in support of you.

I have an autistic son, I'll speak to you like I speak to him in future if that helps?
