- Rated 1 out of 5by KT, 7 years agoI installed it and got this message. Why doesn't the site I downloaded the plugin say this?
Public data compression service shutdown
Due to increased load and complains from ISP we are shutting down public data compression service under https://compressor.bandwidth-hero.com
You can continue using extension and save data by installing your own service. - Rated 5 out of 5by Gee, 7 years agoIts very unfortunate the service is shutting down
However i have tried to setup an instance on Heroku, how do i actually see that compression is taking place because i dont see the counters moving when i click the extension icon in firefoxDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoHave you changed the URL in "Configure data compression service"? It should show a checkmark in the input field icon if everything is correct. When you change the URL and activate Bandwidth Hero - it should be working. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13443597, 7 years agoNoooooo! I saved a lot of data with it. I don't know why they turned it off. :c

You can still use the extension and save data if you install your own data compression service on Heroku or other hosting platform.

- Rated 3 out of 5by leminsc8, 7 years agoPleas Optimze your Add for Mobile Version of Firefox like Android/Iphone.
Maybe on off button into adressbar?
It will be great when you save data more than images like "opera mini" ! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13411276, 7 years agoI tried it on my android device using firefox, but how do I configure? no settings
Sir if the default url/proxy server is use the issue is fixed but when I am using my own proxy the issue remains
ok it is fix now.. I have to create new and deploy - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13421893, 7 years agoWorks very well on large JPEG images. I had to stare at the screen really closely to notice the images were slightly blurry, even when using the highest compression setting. Currently saving 71% on image downloads. Only found two problems: 1. "Convert to black and white" is on by default. I suggest changing this to "off". 2. The transparent background on some GIF and PNG images comes out as black. It would be better if the compression process was skipped for GIFs and PNGs (or at least for small ones, or those with transparent backgrounds).
