A downloading timer-mangler application (40) at the client (20) and a manager application (30) at the server (10) measuring the bandwidth between the server and client to select an appropriate image resolution for the requested information to ensure a generally constant page impression rate. The system allows for the adaptive downloading of a web page displaying information that includes an embedded resource of a third party server such as banner ad. If the third party server is a cooperating server, then the timer-mangler application appropriately selects the image resolution in conjunction with that manager application. If the third party server is a non-cooperating server, the timer-mangler application replaces the third party IP address with that of the alias server. The virtual queue stores the requested information of the third party server in a plurality of image resolutions. The alias server then accesses the virtual queue for the appropriate image resolution. |
