FastNet

FastNet is an advanced HOSTS file manager. It speeds up web surfing by using the Windows HOSTS file to cache IP addresses on your local machine. If the HOSTS file is created, your browser (and all other internet applications) will use it to lookup the DNS before contacting the remote DNS server of your ISP. Since the local lookup is faster, you ll save a few milliseconds with each request that can be resolved locally.

FastNet99 can automatically check and update the IP addresses in the local HOSTS file, import your browser bookmarks from IE, Netscape and Opera as well as URLs from the browser cache. In addition, the program provides several useful internet utilities, all integrated with the rest of the features. They include an email checker, port scanner, tracereoute, popup killer, internet application launcher, IP Inspector and more. FastNet99 has been around for a long time, and provides a great set of tools for intermediate to advanced users.
