This way, you can conduct long downloads and not have to sit bleary-eyed for hours in front of your screen making sure the system doesn't toss you out like a bum into the street. The program is shareware and comes with a free trial version. Nothing's more irritating than losing your Internet connection in the midst of a download, while writing a long thoughtful email, or chatting with an IRC or ICQ buddy. Even if you've armed yourself with a ping program to send out smoke signals to foil them, service providers have gotten craftier and can detect that too. The new host access and interval features DON'T mean a whole bunch of baffling new settings.
Truth is, all the default settings work the best anyway.
And for each host type, there are preloaded entries to save you the typing. But add your own host info and change settings anytime. There's a really good, expanded Help file for setup tips, feature operation, and more. Many other improvements have been added to this version. For AOL users, this supports AOL Browser 4.0 as well as previous versions.
