Note: Sorry, I forgot this thread existed. I actually found out this info months ago, but never posted it.
Becuase of the way Opera loads files, this doesnt work well with 56k. Broadband recommended strongly.
After much testing, I have concluded that this method for increasing speed is useless. Because of the way Opera loads files, all songs have a 70% chance of being off-beat, which pretty much offsets the benefits gained.
You see, the speed of FFR is limited by your processor, but if you reduce the demand on the processor, it'll run faster.
A way to do this is to make the FFR window smaller. To do this, we need to use Opera (only ver 6) or any other browser that has a zoom-in function. You can skip down to the bolded text if you do.
To get Opera go here
1 go to download
2 go to opear archive section, on the top right
3 click on the folder with the name of you operating system
4 select version (605 is recommended, this trick does not work ith 701)
5 click the folder with the intials of the language you want Ex. en= English
6 if you have java installed already, click std. if not, click java. If unsure, click java and install it anyway.
7 download and install
Now, for the actual trick.
1 load up FFR (the window may not display for some users, but it will fix in the next step)
2. go up to the zoom function, and select anything lower than 100%. 80% seems to work best.
The FFR window will be smaller, but it will run much smoother. It's up to you to find balance.
FAQ
1) Why doesnt opera load songs? FFR loads fine, but then when I click on a song, it immediatly goes to 100% and starts playing. But there's no background and the steps are horribly off-beat.
This is why broadband is recommended, and it has to do with the way Opera loads files. There is no fix for this, and there never will be.
2) FFR doesnt even load up, there's just a blank space where the FFR window should be.
you need to install Flash 7
