You can configure your web browser for "disk caching", so that when you visit a web site, your browser will store the page and associated graphics on your hard drive. When you come back to the same web site, your browser will check to see if the page or graphics have changed, and will download only the new or modified content. With graphics-intensive web pages and slow connections, this can greatly speed up your web browsing.

But if your connection is a fast one, there may not be a whole lot of time saved between downloading everything from the web and checking to see if you already have a local copy.
