bascally a program you install on your machine that acts like a proxy
server.  I believe they function by watching your surfing habits and
trying to
A: Pre-download all the links on the page you are on using the assumption
that you will probably click on one of them.
B: Monitor your surfing habits and pre-load those pages in the background.

I.e. If you are reading a multi-part article, the accelerator program
might scan the page for a link titled "Next" and download that link while
you're reading.  Then, when you click on the link, your browser gets the
page from the local proxy program and not the Internet directly at that
moment.

Do those providers you mentioned have a web accelerator for Linux?
