Octane is easy to download and a snap to use.

First, make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements:

• Pentium PC 200MHz (or equivalent) with Windows 98, ME, 2000 or XP (Octane for Mac is coming soon! Check back often for details and updates.)
  
• 64MB RAM
  
• 5MB of hard-drive space
  
• Internet Explorer 4.0 (or later) or Netscape Communicator 4.0 (or later). Opera and Mozilla require additional configuration
  
• For the accelerated sending and receiving of e-mail, you must have Outlook or Outlook Express
  

Then you just download, install and go!

1) Download:

If you have already completed the sign-up, download the Octane installer by Clicking here. Download the installer to your desktop. Once the download has been completed, proceed to the Install.

2) Install:

On your Desktop you will find an icon called "Octane.exe". Double-click the icon to start the installation procedure. Once the installation finishes, you will be prompted for a username and password. Enter the username and password you selected during the sign-up. To avoid having to enter your username and password each time, ensure that the "Save Password" box is checked and proceed to Starting Octane.

3) Starting Octane:

Octane will automatically start when your computer starts up. Internet acceleration will begin as soon as a supported browser (such as Internet Explorer) is started. On most Windows platforms (XP, 2000, ME) a small Octane icon will appear at the lower right hand corner of the system tray when the Octane Service has been established. On all other Windows platforms, you can verify that Octane Service has been established by selecting Octane Status from the pop-up menu.

4) Browse the Web:

Browse the web as you normally would. When finished, simply close your browser and Octane will remain idle in your system tray. If you desire to stop the application after browsing, select Stop Octane from the pop-up menu, or if you desire to exit the application all together, click Exit from the pop-up menu by right clicking on the O icon at the lower right hand corner of the system tray.
