Once launched, SpeedRa Web Booster will remain in the system
tray (as shown below). For the most part, during web browsing there will
be no need to access the user interface. You can use the user interface
to change settings, view connection status or acceleration statistics.
To access the user interface features, click on the SpeedRa Web Booster
icon in the system tray (shown above). A pop-up menu will appear (shown
below), providing access to all the features of the product. Selecting
and single-clicking any of the menu items will access that particular
feature.
Your username and password information is located in the Connection
Status dialog. To set your username and password:
Right-click on the SpeedRa Web Booster taskbar icon and select
"Settings..." from the menu.
Click on the "Connection" tab.
Enter your username and password in the fields provided. To avoid
having to do this each time you connect, ensure that the "Save password"
box is checked.
The image quality setting changes the quality of images that appear
in your SpeedRa Web Booster. The higher the quality you select,
the longer it will take the image to load. For slower Internet connections,
it is recommended that you lower your image quality. This slider can be
adjusted anytime while browsing.
You can easily obtain full image quality for a particular image (described
below), so don't be overly conservative about lowering your image quality
setting.
Right-click on the SpeedRa Web Booster system tray icon.
Select "Settings...".
Select the "Image Quality" tab.
Use the slider bar to adjust the image quality setting.
Press OK to save the settings.
Getting Full Image Quality
Note: The following information applies only when browsing with Internet
Explorer.
While browsing, if you would like to request the full quality image,
simply right-click on the desired image from within Internet Explorer
and select "Show Original Image" from the menu (shown below).
The full quality image will appear in place of the lower quality image
(shown below).
If you want to see the full quality version of all images on the current
page, simply right-click on any image from within Internet Explorer and
select "Show All Original Images" from the menu (shown below).
SpeedRa Web Booster can prevent pop-up windows and floating flash
advertisements from appearing while you browse the Internet. This behavior
is enabled by default, and no user-intervention is required. However,
you can disable these features at any time.
A limited number of web sites require pop-ups to function correctly. SpeedRa
Web Booster allows you to specify a "White List" of sites
where pop-ups will not be blocked.
You can also see a list of all pop-ups that were blocked. This information
is useful if you suspect a web site is not functioning properly because
pop-ups are being blocked.
Enabling and Disabling the Pop-Up Blocker
Right-click on the SpeedRa Web Booster system tray icon.
Select "Pop-Up Blocker...".
Select the "Options" tab.
To hear a beep whenever a pop-up is blocked, check "Notify blocked
pop-up by PC speaker beep".
To disable the blocking of floating Flash advertisements, uncheck
"Block Floating Flash-Ads".
To disable all pop-up blocking for all sites, uncheck "Enable PopUp
Blocker".
Press OK to save the settings.
Disabling the Pop-Up Blocker for Specific Sites
Right-click on the SpeedRa Web Booster system tray icon.
Select "Pop-Up Blocker...".
Select the "White List" tab.
Use the "Add", "Remove" and "Remove All" buttons to manipulate the
White List.
Press OK to save the settings.
Viewing the Pop-Up Blocker Log
Right-click on the SpeedRa Web Booster system tray icon.
Select "Pop-Up Blocker...".
Select the "Logging" tab.
To add a web site to the "White List" so that pop-ups are no longer
blocked from that site, right-click on the site and click "Add to
Whitelist".
Adding Sites to the White List
You can add sites to the White List within the Pop-Up Blocker dialogs,
shown above, or from within Internet Explorer.
Right-click on any text while browsing within Internet Explorer.
Select "Add to Whitelist" from the menu to add the current site
to the White List.
When SpeedRa Web Booster is launched it automatically connects.
Occasionally, you may need to stop or start manually.
To Stop:
If you are connected and you want to manually disconnect, right-click
on the SpeedRa Web Booster system tray icon to access the pop-up
menu. Select the menu item "Stop SpeedRa".
The SpeedRa system tray icon will now have a red "X" through it.
To Start:
If SpeedRa is stopped and you want to manually start, right-click
on the SpeedRa Web Booster system tray icon to access the pop-up
menu. Select the menu item "Start SpeedRa".
The red "X" through the SpeedRa system tray icon will disappear.
Right-click on the SpeedRa Web Booster system tray icon and
select "Exit" from the pop-up menu (see below). SpeedRa Web Booster will disconnect and close. Doing this will not close any open browser
windows.
Note: SpeedRa Web Booster will automatically launch again
the next time you reboot your computer.
