I generally set konqueror web cache to 150MB *per user*. It makes quite a difference in browsing speed, coupled with my on dns caching server and stop kde looking for ipv6. How much BW it saves, I don't know but speed is substantially better. I think if one uses same browser all the time, just bumping the web cache should be sufficient. Of course, don't back it up. One day I wondered why my home dir was 500MB+ till I discovered web caches, font caches, google earth data etc. Back up is no longer just tarring the home dir.. :( Shridhar -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
