How to Ajust timeout in IE or Firefox?

After the earthquake in Taiwan my internet access is terribly slow. I live in Thailand.

IE keeps timing out because the pages take too long to load, is there a way I can adjust IE to wait longer before giving a gateway timeout or page not found error?

I only get about 10 kbps...

Have you tried the optimizers like running http://pclinuxos.com that contains firefox with speed enhancement? Also, there are some other hints and tips on speeding up a slow connection, at the websites by Mozilla.org

The cables are getting done and should be fixed in about two weeks, as I understand! I build/rebuild old pentium class systems, put pclinuxos on them, and they run upto 50X faster.

So, I need to find out data on the mainboards from Taiwan, if I install a used board in a system, and the web sure slowed after that storm ripped up the major cables!
