Surfing Tips
I use FireFox wit hthe FlashGot extension coupled with Free Download Manager.
The key is learning how to use them together. Just install the FlashGot extension and when you find a file you want to download you can either rightclick it and choose FlashGot then Free Download Manager or just leftclick and let FlashGot ask you what to do with the file.

Free Download Manager has a nice 'Site Explorer' function. Just select the Site Explorer tab and enter the URL of a page with porn pics, movie clips, etc. Next, click the go button and then just (shift) select the files you want and start downloading. The great thing about FDM is that you can tell it to download everything one at a time in succession without user intervention. This is great for Dial-Up users. FDM also supports resume and download speed limiting.
If you have some streaming video that you want to download you can try GetASFstream.
It isn't very easy to find and it's in broken english but it works.
You can also start streaming the video then right click the stream in FireFox, click Properties, and if the stream ends in a filename extension you can just copy and paste the link into FDM and start downlaoding it.
One thing that really speeds up FireFox, especially low bandwidth users is this:

I use the Fast Computer Slower Connection setting with my 56k connection and I can load pages way, way, way, faster than IE ever could.
