Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A network communications system comprises a plurality of user stations (16, 18, 20, 22, 24), each with respective processing and display capability. At least some of the stations are provided with a predictor mechanism which determines, for a given downloaded data page, the most likely next page, calls that data page up over the network, and downloads it to local cache storage whilst the user is still viewing the first page. To reduce some of the worst delays, due to graphic image downloads, one or more service provider host systems coupled via a data network such as the Internet packages all the graphics data for a particular group of pages into a single dummy page which the user systems then background-download to cache.
