I know I'm going to take some crap from those with cable or DSL, but this whole website takes forever to load over 56k. I come back often to see if 1.00 is released and its a good 2 1/2 minutes for the site to load. When you hit stop in internet explorer it still takes an obscene amount of time to go to another site because Magicengine.com continues to load. Thanks for hearing me.

What Internet browser do you use? I'm on a 56k too, with IE all is ok here, the page load in a few seconds.

To check only the news, you can go directly to http://www.magicengine.com/uk_news_main.html, this page will load faster and it doesn't pre-cache images, so you can stop it anytime.

if you have dial up,i HIGHLY suggest you get the browser OPERA 7x!it is so much faster than winblows explorer.trust me you will be happier using it on dial up.i use it on cable and it is incredibly faster than windows IE.and it helps to ahve two different browsers for downloading more at once(i.e.-i run windows download,and opera download managersat the same time on sites that have lots of files to download,that way i get more at once.saves time)go fer it man!

How well does it work with Norton Firewall/Antivirus 2003? Will the pop up blocker built into Norton Firewall work with opera?

it should work fine,but opera alrady has an ad blocker that you can adjust to your liking.it works great!also opera is free but comes with ads in the banner,but it is NOT plastered all over like IE,it is just one window at the top of the screen.it goes away if you register the product,which you ahve to pay for.unless you crack it.it is so great.talk to you later.

Why not use Mozilla instead? free, add-free, fast & easy...

I like it.
