There are many other differences between the two types which will be explained later in detail while some explanation of both these types of internet accessories is given in the next two paragraphs. When people open a website they have to use a web browser for that. It is an application which allows the user to enter a web address and then takes them to that address where they can get all the information they need. In simple terms browsing is defined as looking for some type of information and reading about it without any proper aim or objective.
In the world of internet browsing is explained as the act of finding data related to a particular topic with the help of websites and reading about it in one space so that all the information becomes relevant. People can find what they are looking for if they have some idea of the topic beforehand and they end up getting the information in less time. Many times, people who use the internet end up looking for random stuff on the web to enhance their knowledge, they just enter a search term and keep opening one term from the other until they know enough to stop looking.
This is done with the help of search engines, therefore, surfing can be explained as the act of finding information without depending on the web browser.
I think, Surfing means just browsing from the internet using your browser like Internet explorer or firefox. It does some response to the server and the sever sent data to your computer which will be viewed by your browser.
Downloading means your downloading a file in the web either using your browser or download manager. Well it sounds like they have the same function. Carl Halling. I'm not an expert and do not speak technical language. For example, when you double-click Chrome, you get to your search engine like Google. Now you need to type keywords to get the most relevant information or the URL of the website if you know it.
For example, if you want to know the latest about your favorite celebrity, you just type his or her name, and the search engine comes up with all the results containing the latest information about him.
But if you are looking for knowledge on some science subject, you just need to type the topic and the search engines come up with information that is close to what you are looking for and you can yourself get through a maze of information by clicking on links and get to what you are finally looking for.
According to some people,whether you say you are browsing through the net or surfing the net, it does not really make a difference as both terms are commonly used by people to describe the same activity of moving across websites on the net and watching or downloading content from the net.
You can watch, read, listen to music, or enjoy movies and other videos like Youtube or metacafe etc. Browsing, it seems has come into existence because of the use of browsers to get to websites on the net.
However, some say they are two different things. According to some people, browsing is searching for something on the internet without specifications. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. I have spent quite a lot of time searching an answer for this question but haven't found an satisfactory answer. My perception is that everything that you see in your browser is downloaded on your PC.
The proof for this is: Let a webpage load in your browser and when its loading completes then select working offline or close your internet connection and save that page, which results in the saving of your webpage on your hard disk with the key to watch this page any number of time you want. So, it shows that your page's been downloaded when you accessed it and the speed of accessing your webpage will surely then depend on your downloading speed, then where does this term "Surfing Speed" comes.
I may be wrong in my perception but I would love to know the correct answer to my query. And yes I admit that my proof does not validate when the webpage is developed in languages like asp. Download speed is how fast the connection is from your house to your ISP. It is tested by downloading a file hosted right on your ISPs network to your computer all speedtests not hosted locally by your ISP are testing latency.
It is the physical speed of your "last mile," between your house and your ISP's gateway to its backbone. Also known as throughput. Surfing speed is a marketing term, and is meant to describe how fast the connection is, subjectively, from your house to items on the Internet.
It is always variable, and is out of any one entity's control. It includes latency as explained above, basically 'how long it takes information from servers around the world to cross the Internet and render on your machine'. Also known as goodput. Downloading usually involves only one file, but surfing involves many html, javascript, images etc.
Normally it takes time for a download to reach its peak speed. Therefore, downloading several small files is slower than one large file. But not only because of the download speed, but also because of the handshake that needs to be done between the browser and the server in order to start a new download.
This can be optimized by the browser's reusing one connection to the server in order to download multiple files, but not all website administrators allow keeping connections alive, so as not too have too many concurrent connections open. Download speed is normally done at the maximum connection speed at least after the first few seconds. In conclusion I would say that while download speed is well-defined, surfing speed can vary greatly depending on the above parameters. If it's so called, "user experience", then let's take easy example I hope - modern websites are using on javascript.
Scripts are downloaded from server with some speed depending on your badwith, but they are executed locally by your browser. So with the slow machine with old browser will get worse surfing speed even if it's provided with the same bandwith as the better machine.
That's how I suppose term 'surfing speed' should be understood. But who is using it? If it's your ISP talking, then consider it as a smooth excuse for them no providing you a quality connection like: "our badwith rox, it's your machines that sux" :.
Download speed was fantastic for it's time , so if you started to download a large file eg a service pack or cd image , then it took a few seconds to get started and then it flew.
