"Accelerator" *lol*. This is a terrible waste of bandwidth. So the
"accelerator" downloads 50 pages linking from the first page you hit and
after spending 5 minutes reading the first page you decide not to visit
any of the other links. Fast for the user maybe, but if everyone used
this, it would be slower overall since the net would be plugged with 90%
pointless requests.

Cheers,
Rob.
