title: Is there a faster way to download a page from the net to a string?
body: <p>I have tried other methods to download info from a URL, but needed a faster one.  I need to download and parse about 250 separate pages, and would like the app to not appear ridiculously slow. This is the code I am currently using to retrieve a single page, any insight would be great.</p>
  
  <pre><code>try 
  {
      URL myURL = new URL("http://www.google.com");
      URLConnection ucon = myURL.openConnection();
      InputStream inputStream = ucon.getInputStream();
      BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(inputStream);
      ByteArrayBuffer byteArrayBuffer = new ByteArrayBuffer(50);
      int current = 0;
      while ((current = bufferedInputStream.read()) != -1) {
          byteArrayBuffer.append((byte) current);
      }
      tempString = new String(byteArrayBuffer.toByteArray());
  
  } 
  catch (Exception e) 
  {
      Log.i("Error",e.toString());
  }
  </code></pre>
