i'm thinking of registering and hope that i really don't have to pay money.

 

load of pants by the look of it

 

Get a faster internet connection, turn off programs that connect to the internet (kazaa, etc.), some more stuff i don't remember. I highly doubt the program will do anything at all, much less make your cs connection better.

 

No, it will definitely not help your CS lag.

From what I've read on their site, this piece of spyware works by redirecting your browser requests to some cache servers that they've set up. Which, for some of the more often access sites, hopefully will be able to respond faster than the actual sites themselves. Plus it sounds like they tout end-to-end compression, while regular HTML traffic is left uncompressed. The thing is, however, that 56k connections already do compression, so this won't actually help out either.

This does nothing for online games - it's obviously impossible to cache the data going to and from the clients and servers.

Basically, they're just a market research firm - the "acceleration" jazz is simply to entice people to sign up with them.

What information is collected?

During the initial registration process, we request certain information, such as name, address, e-mail address, and education, about you and other persons who live with you or have the same mailing address as you (collectively, we call this your "Household"). After you register, our network then collects additional information about your Household's Internet behavior and that of any other computers used by members of your Household that you have configured to use the Marketscore Network and service. This information is then combined with other Marketscore member data and other information to create an aggregate view of Internet e-commerce. Marketscore monitors your surfing, essentially logging information about the web pages that you visit and the actions that you take, such as the purchases and transactions you make. Marketscore can only monitor the Internet behavior and activity of your Household's registered and configured computers. As a Member, you therefore control which computers the Marketscore service is available on. Marketscore monitors both the normal web browsing you perform, and also the activity you may have through secure sessions, such as when filling a shopping basket or filling out an application form. Marketscore's proprietary and patent pending technology allows us to see the details of secure pages while protecting such content from parties other than the site to which you are connected. We monitor these connections so we can accurately and anonymously model not only the browsing habits of Internet users, but also their shopping, registration, and other interactions as well. Although we generally monitor your Internet behavior as part of this service, Marketscore does not examine, use nor keep any instant messages or examine or use the contents of any of your e-mail messages , except to perform specific functions necessary to provide you the Marketscore service (such as scanning your e-mails to effectively search for viruses), and as a quality assurance check against and method for verifying information on the surfing and buying behavior of Marketscore members.

 

Here is a little of info to put in your config file in cstrike folder to help get the most out of your system+connection.

fps_max "101"
fps_modem "100"

I use to play CS hardcore w/ some of the top clans, and let me tell you that I was able to squeze every bit of edge over the best players by simply tweaking my system to the max and connection. I've dropped CS over a year now, but played it since it was developed.

If you need more help tweaking your system, PM me and I can help you get a lot out of everything if I knew your PC setup + connection.
