CyberNerd Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I resisted because I didn't think downgrading my O/S to XP was worth it: System Requirements Microsoft Windows 2000/XP Firefox 1.0.1+ Other versions: Internet Explorer 5.0+ However, I can confirm that it seems to be happy with FF2 on Ubuntu64 dapper.
alonebfg Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 i found a big problem with it. when i checked it is always connected and takes up a fair bit of bandwith. i decided to go with a good rss feed reader as this is not continusly connected and cheaks at intervals ie ever 5 mins and it works well.
tosca925 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 found a big problem with it. when i checked it is always connected and takes up a fair bit of bandwith. Can you elaborate on this a bit.?
alonebfg Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 sure i downloaded it at home on two of the pcs i use and thought nothing about it at the time we were changing bb supplyer so i was expecting some disruption then i set up and was trying out dansguard which slowed down the network to a trawl. i checked the logs on the dansguard server and found ever 20-30 seconds somthing was trying to connect. i took of the proxy thinking it was the dansguard server. still slow so i checked traffic from the diffrent and found thats the toolbar is always downloading or connecting. my partners sone had one as well with another group of people i decied to take off both toolbars and if by magic traffic went down and my internet speed went up. i have done some other tests i dont know exalty what it is doing but it does eat my bandwith. and as i only used it for the feed i used wizz reader which only check every 10 minites and you can switch it off and then you manually check.
tosca925 Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Thanks for that, I have noticed a few problems with my internet going slow to almost a crawl for aound 30 seconds every 10-20 minutes over the last week or so and it tends to be more when i am on the forums. THis conisides with me installing the Edugeel toolbar around a week or so ago. I will take it off and see if it improves.
steve Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I've been having a few issues with this toolbar under Firefox 2 The RSS count is never acurate any more, and if I delete the items under a feed, they keep coming back as unread :-( So I've created a google button - see this post : http://www.edugeek.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=72603
GrumbleDook Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I find that the RSS ticcker add-on for Firefox is knackered too ... it keeps loading them back up even after reading them for lots of different feeds .. not just edugeek I blame Firefox ... bring back IE5!
MaximusR Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Hi - Is it still possible to get the Edugeek Toolbar from somewhere to add to Firefox? Thanks!
localzuk Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I think its long dead!! Considering it was aimed at Firefox 1 and IE 5.
