[Camino] Eternity

[Tom Beck]

Does anyone else have this problem with Camino? I'm using 1.51 on an 
old Mac iBook that's admittedly pretty slow. I have a cable modem 
shared through an ethernet home network via a router.

Some Web sites take FOREVER to download, and I MEAN forever. ESPN.com, 
for example - but in reality, ANY site with video or animation can 
spend minutes fully downloading. Sometimes the colored pinwheel keeps 
spinning and spinning and spinning and never returns control to me so 
that I can actually click on a link or even go to another site from my 
bookmarks. Sometimes I have to force quit Camino and start it up again. 
It keeps me from going to certain sites because I know I'm going to 
have trouble.

I've reported this as a bug to the developers and have been told, 
basically, we're aware of it and have no intention of fixing it anytime 
soon. Fix it yourself if it bothers you so much, since we can't 
duplicate it ourselves.

Am I the only person this is happening to? I'd appreciate some useful 
suggestions on any possible workaround or solution.

Also, is there a way to disable videos on some sites from automatically 
starting. You go to ESPN.com, and it attempts to play one of their 
video windows as soon as you get there. I don't want that to ever 
happen - can I somehow shut it down in advance?

Thanks!

and winners/This train carries whores and gamblers/This train carries 
lost souls/This train carries broken-hearted/This train - thieves and 
sweet souls departed/This train carries fools, carries kings/This train 
- all aboard!/I said, this train - dreams will not be thwarted/This 
train - faith will be rewarded/This train - hear the steel wheels 
singing/This train - bells of freedom ringing!" -  Bruce Springsteen,
