A local proxy won't help you any more than simply cranking up your browser cache.
rats. I was thinking that if it was coming from one traceroute hop away would be faster than from however many hops the other sites would be.
Cache is fully tweaked (I use Opera on the Mac, which has really good cache settings).
Anything else I could do to speed things up?
If you have access to a faster machine at the other end of your dialup link, you can run something like Rabbit ( http:/rabbit-proxy.sourceforge.net ), which will compress your images and web pages before sending them to you and your slow link.
Ah, now that's a thought. (My old ISP wanted $5/month for that :-)
Unfortunately I don't see a port and 'make' failed rather unspectacularly
$ make Error expanding embedded variable.
and Google was no help :-/

It might also help somewhat to run a caching-only nameserver on your host and forward all queries to your ISP's nameservers.
That's an idea, although it's thinking above my pay scale at this point.
Disable image autoload in your browser, and/or block .swf.
Done and done (also easy with Opera).
Thanks
