    Install a HOSTS file.
    That really speeds things up.
    But when you click on the deal icon on the right, many 404s (like the egg).
    But just search for the title and you'll find the deal.
    Of course ben doesn't get the cred but, hey ben, speed it up or get out of the kitchen.

    Douche, I'm not a bot - I bought one of these and it works great with Torque.

    Petejc, there is no need to block anything that would cause a 404 error to get a deal, those click-through sites don't load anything at all while still on Ben's and going through them to get to a merchant is far faster than manually searching for the product.

    I have an android but hated it and gave it to the concrete. I bought one of these. Guess I have to order a new screen for that POS just so I can use this thing. I haven't heard any other way of accessing..

    Dave,
    All I know is Ben's used to hang my browser. Sometimes taking over a minute before I could do anything like scroll down. Even hung my computer sometimes for minutes. I got a host file from somewhere. It is really large but with it installed I can actually scroll Ben's page within 20 seconds of it starting to load.

    I suppose I could try and figure out which lines of the file I need to block for speed and which to allow so I can click-through but...I have better things to do with my life. So, now I click. If the page loads, great. If it 404s, I decide if it is worth manually searching for or just "X" the window.

    Pete
