How does Hypernet Web Accelerator work?

Hypernet accelerates your Internet access through proprietary text and image compression, content caching, and other network optimizations.

top

Will I benefit from using Hypernet Web Accelerator?

If you have a slow Internet connection (such as a dial-up or wireless connection) with a bandwidth of less than 300Kbps, you will experience a significant degree of acceleration using Hypernet.

top

What types of content does Hypernet Web Accelerator speed up?

Hypernet Web Accelerator significantly speeds up Web page access. To achieve this speed up, proprietary lossless compression is applied to text, html, xml, javascript and style sheets. Proprietary image compression is applied to gif images, jpeg images and Flash content.

Hypernet also accelerates email traffic (POP3, IMAP and SMTP) and FTP (in the passive mode) using lossless compression.

Hypernet does NOT speed up file downloads (except over FTP) and streaming audio/video. The HTTPS (secure Web sites) solution is only available with our SE product.

Why is Hypernet Web Accelerator disabled right after it launches?

Please make sure that you have configured Hypernet Web Accelerator properly; this includes the correct username, password, server name, and server port number. It is also important to check if you have a valid internet connection.

This issue might also be caused by the High speed Auto-detection feature. Hypernet Web Accelerator might be disabled once an active high speed connection, such as DSL or cable modem, is detected.

If the problem persists, please contact Xlntenet for further assistance.
