Great news for dial up users. Orkut has introduced it’s low bandwidth version which can be very helpful while surfing orkut from slow connections. This is also a boon for limited internet users who have to pay for every megabyte they send/receive.
» Using Low Bandwidth Version of Orkut
- Navigate to your General Settings
- In the options, you will see a low bandwidth option (screenshot)
- Choose the low bandwidth option
- Save and surf orkut to feel the difference.

Is there a shortcut URL to launch the Low Bandwidth Version straight from the address bar, instead of going to Settings and selecting it? It would be useful when I’m stuck with a really slow connection and I can’t get into the (high bandwidth) Settings page. Orkut just refuses to load here.
Gmail has a shortcut URL to launch it’s HTML version when you need it, which is http://mail.google.com/mail/h/ (the last / is important). I wonder if Orkut has something similar.
What I do now with my dead slow connection is to use Orkut Mobile http://m.orkut.com which works great in my laptop. Works in both IE and Firefox, but it isn’t as feature-rich as the full Orkut. Well, anyway it’s better than no Orkut at all. I can see thumbnail pictures and scrap my friends.
i am always getting orkut s beta version on ma mobile i want 2 use the common 1. how can i change it?
