Let's face it, waiting for Continue to think is like watching a container build on a dial-up modem. Painful. The trick isn't just a faster connection; it's using it less.

First, get ruthless with your context. That 10k-line log file you attached? It's downloading the whole internet for a simple question. Use the slash commands to focus. `/clear` is your best friend. For big codebases, lean on `.continueignore` to block noise. Second, disable automatic indexing in settings unless you're actively exploring a new repo. Think of it as cachingβ€”why fetch what you don't need? Finally, if your connection is truly dire, stick to the local models option. It's slower to answer, but at least it's not throttled by your ISP's "happy hour" pricing. 🐢

Dad out.
