As long as there's an Internet, everyone is going to want to do things
faster. Browse the web, ping servers, download files, whatever. Every
time you go to a new website, or a website you haven't been to in a day
or so, your computer needs to locate the server again using DNS. Each
DNS request can take anywhere from 50 milliseconds, to even a second or
more, but most are in the 100 to 200 millisecond range. Want to save a
couple hundred milliseconds? Probably not, but what about a couple
million or more? That's what AnalogX FastCache is all about.
AnalogX FastCache is a caching DNS server that runs on your local
machine and handles any DNS request that your computer makes, from
Internet Explorer to your favorite FTP client. Once a query is made,
FastCache will override the normal timeout for the item with one that
you specify, so instead of saving a query for a couple of seconds, it
can save it for a couple of days. Now every time you ask for it again
while it's in the cache, it gives it to you instantly.
FastCache works on
all
versions of Windows, from Window 95 to Windows 7 and everything
inbetween (including XP, Vista, Win2k, etc). If you have a general
question related to any of the programs on the site, or would like some
additional info related to the downloads in general, then check out the
downloads FAQ.
