Go Ahead Got It!

Got It! from Go Ahead Software is an intelligent agent that takes web caching to the next level. The client monitors the web sites you visit most often and maintains a cache of those sites that Got It! predicts you are most likely to access again in the future. Got It! dramatically accelerates your web experience by working in the background to download pages to its local cache on a scheduled basis. As a result, the pages are already available for you the next time you access them. The Got It! client is composed of three major elements, each of which focuses on accelerating a different area of your web surfing experience. The first major tool is the Predictor, a read-ahead caching utility that not only tracks which sites you access most often but also downloads additional links from a web page in the background so that these pages will be available when you click on them. The second utility, the Pruner, uses an advanced algorithm to determine the frequency of how often you access a given page and how often the page's content changes. The algorithm assigns an index of relative importance to each page and then uses this index to remove the least valuable information from the Got It! cache. This minimizes the need for a large amount of hard drive space while still ensuring the fastest possible performance for those web sites you're most likely to access. The final piece of technology behind Got It! is the Fetcher which scans your favorite sites and automatically updates your local cache when the information for one of these sites changes. This is all done in the background while you work on other tasks. Then the next time you go to check a web site out its information is already available for you from your hard drive. This way you don't even have to access the web to view the updated site. Got It! also notifies you when a site has been updated with new information. The only real drawback to Got It! is that even non-content changes like updated ad banners will cause the Fetcher to download a page, so in some cases you will be notified about an update when the actual information for a site remains the same. Overall though, with its intelligent caching capabilities and advanced filtering algorithms, Go Ahead Go It! is definitely one of the best web accelerators currently available. Pros: Advanced caching offers accelerated browsing, works in the background without decreased performance Cons: Has a tendency to update pages when the content hasn't actually changed (i.e. when an ad banner changes) For the latest information on Go Ahead Got It!, check out: http://cws.internet.com/32agents.html#gogotit
