Works like a charm.
Now I can save a lot of bandwith.
Thank you very much!
rob allen Said,
Thank you for putting this up. I found a couple of issues when trying it but it is mainly around getting the right versions. Once loaded it definately makes a difference – I would say between 50% and 80% bandwidth saving in the tests I did. I have included this link in a Top 10 Tips for Low Bandwidth Internet Management article at http://mainstreamingict.org/?p=104

I got stuck at the “execute it” bit of “Double-click microemulator.jar and execute it.”
tim Said,
I figured it out. Just had to right click the jar file in xp and select the java thingy to open it.
