SLOW NETWORK CONNECTION: SETTING INTERNET EXPLORER CACHE ON MAC (OS X 10.2)

Internet Explorer stores copies of frequently used Internet files in a special folder called a cache. Storing these copies helps some Web pages load faster, but if your cache becomes too full, it will actually slow down your connection instead of speeding it up.

Cleaning out temporary Internet files and setting the cache size in Internet Explorer

Start Internet Explorer. Clickon Tools, then clickon Internet Options.

This will bring up the Internet Explorer Preferences window.

On the left-hand side of the panel, under Web Browser, clickon Advanced. (If you don't see Advanced, clickon the triangle next to Web Browser.)

Clickon the Empty Now button.

Make sure Disk Cache is set no larger than about 20 MB.

Clickon the OK button.
