Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a content delivery system that utilizes editing, caching and compressing to speed the delivery of content from a network, such as the Internet, while conserving bandwidth usage. A local computer sends a request for content to a computer on a first network (the Internet) through a second network (such as an ISP or Intranet). The request is intercepted by a Proxy Server which is coupled to an Editor and Compressor. The Proxy Server returns the requested content to the requestor in a compressed form and in such a manner that the delivery of such content is faster than the current state of the art.
