I saw an article several weeks ago about some software that would make downloading web

it did was to not display the background, ads, etc. I have Mandrake 9.1.

Can someone point me to the right place?

I've seen lots of stuff about this. But -- my $0.02 -- it is just stuff as far as *NIX is concerned because the only way to download a web page faster with dial up is to have someone compress it on the other end of you connection.

Since HTML is text, it *could* be compressed -- why it isn't is something I am at a loss to understand. Note that IIUC Linux already is able to decompress it.
