What's WebRifle
WebRifle« 2.x is a real-time web surfing accelerator specifically designed for
Internet Explorer« 4/5 to achieve a faster and more effective approach to the
internet.
It enhances your web navigation by predicting your need for web pages with a
sophisticated algorithm to anticipate hyperlinks and to retrieve web pages
before the browser needs to display them. And if you drag&drop some links into

you're surfing.
Moreover a built-in TCP-IP transport protocol optimizer increases your modem or
network bandwidth by efficiently taking full advantage of each unused instant of
your internet connection.

How it Works
This section is graphics and it's available only online; please take a look at
Help page online.
Installation Requirement
WebRifle« is based on VB5 Run-Time Service Pack 3. Therefore, if you don't have
the VB5 Run-Time, the WebRifle« setup program will inform you. Only in this case
download the VB5 Run-Time and install it before WebRifle«.
WebRifle« needs Internet Explorer« 4/5 with Active Desktop component installed,
Windows 95/98/NT, 3 MByte HD free space and WinZip 6.3 or above.
Running Setup
Extract the WebRifle« zipfile in a temporary directory and read the ReadMe.htm
file first. If you have a previous version of WebRifle« already installed in
your system you must uninstall it before install WebRifle« 2.x.
Then double-click on the TESetup.exe file which will begin the installation. All
files in the temporary directory may be deleted once the installation is
complete.
Startup Folder
WebRifle« setup will add a link to TE.exe into your startup folder. WebRifle«
will start on system startup and will stay resident without user interaction.
During the waiting status the resource usage of WebRifle« is minimal.
Installation Files
The WebRifle« setup program will install and/or replace these files in your
system :
WebRifle« Files (WebRifle directory) : TE.exe, ReadMe.htm.
WebRifle« Files (windows system directory) : TELib.dll, ComCtl32.ocx.
The VB5 Run-Time setup program will install and/or replace these files in your
system :
Visual Basic 5 Run-Time Files (windows system directory) : Asycfilt.dll,
Comcat.dll, Ctl3d32.dll, Msvbvm50.dll, Oleaut32.dll, Olepro32.dll,
Stdole2.tlb.
Cautions
Like any other setup programs WebRifle« involves making changes to your
registry. Whenever registry changes are made, it is always advisable to backup
your registry first.
Uninstallation
Like any other Windows program you can uninstall WebRifle« from the Add/Remove
Programs icon in the Control Panel. Don't try to delete the Visual Basic Runtime
files manually.
Configuration
Auto-Settings
As it's strongly integrated with Internet Explorer«, most of WebRifle« settings
are automatic. The WebRifle« project aims at being easy-to-use. Thus, despite
the complexity of WebRifle«, only few manual settings are provided. My
suggestion is to use the default settings and tune only "Concurrent Links" based
on the throughput of your internet connection. If you give a look to the How It
Works section you will be able to understand the meaning of following manual
settings.
Manual-Settings
From the Standard Settings folder you can change these settings:
Concurrent Links : Is the number of concurrent page download. Set this value
on the throughput of your internet connection. A value of 5-10 concurrent
download is for standard modem connection, increase it with faster
connection (ISDN etc..).
Max Length Files : Is the maximum length files allowed to download it.
Decrease it if you prefer not to download large files or, vice versa,
increase it if you have fast internet connection.
Start On Page Completed : It sets the start for the download. If this flag
is checked (default) WebRifle« will start following the link on the page
after the page will be complete.
Follow Remote Links : It sets the path for the download. If this flag is
checked (default) WebRifle« will follow the remote link (to a page which is
on a different server from that of the starting page..). If this flag is
unchecked WebRifle« will follow only local links (to a page which is on the
same server of the starting page).
First Follow Local Links : It sets the sequence for the download. If this
flag is checked (default) WebRifle« will follow the local link (to a page
which is on a different server from that of the starting page..) and after
will follow the remote link. If this flag is not checked, the sequence will
depend on the page structure.
Save Files Into Cache : It sets the storing mode of downloaded link. If this
flag is checked (default) WebRifle« won't delete links not yet visited by
the WebRifle« cache at the shutdown. This mode of operation doesn't waste
your hard disk space because WebRifle« uses the same cache mechanisms of
Internet Explorer«, therefore you can delete the WebRifle« cache from the
Internet Explorer« cache menu, whenever you want.
From the Advanced Settings folder you can change these settings:
Load When Filter Is OFF: In this frame you can set which types of files
WebRifle« will download when the filter function is disabled ( normal
condition.. ). Of course at least one type must be selected; for default,
when filter is off all file types are downloaded.
Load When Filter Is ON: In this frame you can to set which type of files
WebRifle« will download when the filter function is enabled. For default
when filter is on only text files are downloaded.
Cache Acceleration/Page Refresh: It sets the WinInet« cache mode and,
consequently, the Internet Explorer« and WebRifle« cache mode. This setting
is equivalent to the Internet Explorer« cache settings available from the
Options function of Internet Explorer« and have the same meaning; if you
want faster navigation select "Max/If Needed" otherwise if you need frequent
page refresh (every Internet Explorer« session..) select "Medium/Every
Session". If you select "Min/Always" Internet Explorer« and WebRifle« must
refresh the page every time and navigation could be slow. If you change this
settings it will have effect after the next reboot.
If you select "Max/If Needed" the auto-refresh function of WebRifle« will
update the page if needed. NOTE: This feature is available if the web server
is able to send the expiration time of pages.
Max Links Page: Is the maximum amount of links allowed for every page; this
limit is necessary because a large amount of links on a page can require
high download. You can decrease this value if your preferred sites have page
with a lot of links.
