Propel Accelerator 5 delivers graphics faster and with the best display quality! SIGN UP ONLINE!

Propel Accelerator improves your browsing experience by dramatically accelerating the delivery of Web pages to your PC. Our unique combination of intelligent browser caching, compression technology, and edge caching enables Web pages to be delivered to your browser with minimal latency at maximum speeds over your existing dial-up connection. As a result, you can expect a very noticeable improvement in response time.

The figure above depicts the relationships between the various components of the Propel^® Acceleration Service and how they interact with one another:

• The Propel Accelerator Client Software (or Propel Client) runs in the background on your PC as a local proxy. The Propel Client maintains a persistent connection to the Propel Network in order to eliminate the connections that need to be established every time the browser initiates a request. The Propel Client decodes and caches the content it receives from the Propel Network before sending it to the Web browser.
• The Propel Network sits between the Propel Client running on your PC and the Web sites you are trying to reach. The Propel Network consists of a collection of strategically deployed servers that manage connections, cache content, and encode data received from the destination sites. By doing so, the Propel Network reduces the distance data must travel, and at the same time reduces the amount of data transmitted.

How Fast is It?

• Propel Accelerator 5 Advanced Image Compression delivers faster acceleration.
• Clearer and crisper graphics so you’ll see even sharper images of the faster-delivered graphic.
• Enhanced text compression, providing smaller, faster, "lossless"
  What is lossless?
  lossless = reconstructed exactly from the compressed data; the same as the original
  compression of text and delivering additional acceleration.

With Propel Accelerator, Web pages load up to 5 times faster. The more you visit specific Web sites, the better the performance you will receive.

Here is an example of tests we ran with and without Propel Accelerator:

How Does it Work?

Propel Accelerator is designed to provide maximum acceleration for all Web sites and additional acceleration for the Web sites you visit regularly. So, the more you surf, the faster your favorite pages will load!

Specifically, Propel Accelerator speeds up the delivery of Web pages five ways:

• NEW Compression. Images and other graphic objects are compressed by removing some of the image detail. This results in dramatically smaller images that are delivered to your computer much quicker.
  
  You may set your own default level of graphic compression through the Propel Icon Menu. You may also right click on any image or Web page and select the menu item to refresh in the image or Web page in full quality.
• Caching. Propel intelligently retains and reuses Web pages and page elements that have previously been sent to your desktop.
• Persistent Connections. Propel Accelerator optimizes the communication between your modem and our network of servers. This eliminates the time wasted re-establishing and closing TCP/IP connections.
• Chunk Encoding with Parallel Connections. When a user begins to download a file larger than 100KB, this feature downloads different segments of the same file from different locations.
• Optional Content Filtering. Propel Accelerator lets you block unsolicited content, such as pop-up ads and in-page ads. Blocking these ads causes Web pages to load faster.
  
  
  • Pop-up Windows. (Windows Only). Propel Accelerator can block pop-up and pop-under windows that clutter your screen and slow down your surfing.
  • In-page Ads Propel Accelerator can block most advertisements that appear on Web pages. When an ad is blocked, it is replaced with a light gray box on the Web page to make sure that Web pages maintain their intended design. You can easily view blocked ads by right clicking on the gray box. As with pop-up blocking, you can turn this feature on and off any time you like.
