Howdy.

i was over at DnsStuff and i was doing IPWhois lookup, well because i'm bored.
Anyhow i'm using firefox, and i got that FasterFox installed. anyhow i got this error page.
FORBIDDEN: Pre-fetching abuses our website.

If you are using the FireFox extension 'FasterFox', it is very poor and will block you from websites that it abuses. Please uninstall it (and perhaps add a comment to the FasterFox page. If you are not running it, you are running some sort of poor extension that pre-fetches pages that it shouldn't (ones without a 'link' marker). Once you have done this, you can re-load this page. Note that if you do not remove the rogue program, you will continue to see this message occasionally.

If everyone did this, it could easily quadruple the load on our server, and increase the total amount of wasted bandwidth on the Internet by 10 times or more. While we should be able to handle at least 10 times our current load, other websites aren't so lucky, and the operators may have to pay extra money as a result -- and perhaps shut down their websites. FasterFox abuses the Internet, there is no question about that.

NOTE: There *are* a few other rarely used programs besides FireFox that do this (there appears to be a rogue web proxy that does this too).
So is the FasterFox really as bad as they are making it sound to be.?
i've been told only about how good it is etc etc, and i've noticed pages loading up a hello a lot quicker while using it.
But is what this error page is saying true at all.?

cheers

I will clean the post up after i've had a coffee.
