Publisher's description

From Ricardo Batista :

SpeedManiac can help you get some sanity back by blocking ads, large graphics, flash animations, and javascripts that bog down your internet connection.

How does SpeedManiac work?

By preventing some ads or graphics from downloading in the first place, web pages will load signifigantly faster for you, some in half the time they used to. If you change your mind and want to load a web page in full, simply hold down the option or shift key while the page loads. It's that simple. Option-Command-. (Period) also toggles filtering on and off for your convenience.

Software Requirements:

SpeedManiac is for Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4 or above (10.1 and 10.2 version available) and it is used with a web browser that supports proxy connections, such as most modern browsers, Safari, Internet Explorer, Mail, etc.

Features:

Option to block graphics of a certain size (1 - 30K) if not already loaded.
Option to block ad sites. We have almost 1600 ad sites blocked. Even google ads.
Option to block flash animations.
Option to block all graphics (useful in certain cases).
DNS caching
Auto rezising of buffers to match server speeds and files being downloaded
Up to 40 simultaneous threads
