Download, Install, Start, Browse:
  1. Download:
    Once you have completed the sign-up, you will be provided with a location to download the BrowseBlast Web Accelerator installer. If you did not download the BrowseBlast Web Accelerator installer at sign-up, click here to download it now. 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 "BrowseBlast.exe". Double-click the icon to start the installation procedure. Once the installation finishes, you will be prompted for a username and password. Enter your SDCCUnet username (including @sdccu.net) 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 BrowseBlast.

  3. Starting BrowseBlast:
    BrowseBlast Web Accelerator 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 red rocket icon will appear at the lower right hand corner of the system tray when the BrowseBlast Service has been established. On all other Windows platforms, you can verify that BrowseBlast Service has been established by selecting BrowseBlast Status from the pop-up menu.

  4. Browse the Web:
    Browse the web as you normally would. When finished, simply close your browser and BrowseBlast Web Accelerator will remain idle in your system tray. If you desire to stop the application after browsing, select Stop BrowseBlast 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 red rocket at the lower right hand corner of the system tray.
