BeFaster5.01

BeFaster is a connection optimization tool that is supposed to help you get the most out of your high-speed Internet connection.The application supports virtually all kinds of connections, including LAN, cable, xDSL, ISDN, T1, Cable/DSL, satellite and dial-up mode.Plus, it provides to different modes, “Standard Users” and “Advanced Users”, thus trying to target both beginners and the more experienced ones.If you go for the standard mode, you have nothing else to configure beside the connection type, speed and one of the three available optimization modes which can be header compression optimization, Time to Live optimization and TCP large Windows optimization.BeFaster automatically detects the version of your operating system and optimizes settings in just a few seconds, without eating up much of your CPU and RAM.The “Advanced Users” tab on the other hand provides access to many more features, including browser settings, NWLINK parameters, COM ports and MTU options. This is specifically addressed to more experienced users, but a comprehensive help manual is still included in the package to make sure you're on the safe side all the time.BeFaster indeed seems to boost connection speed, but some of its tools are fairly useful. The so-called “Super-Ping” feature for example automatically pings a defined host at a configured interval, trying to keep your connection alive.All things considered, there's no doubt BeFaster is a handy software solution, promising to boost Internet speed as much as possible. Plus, it can be safely installed by all types of users, mostly thanks to the two different modes it provides.
