The present invention relates to a method for optimizing the use of client
capacity when providing information contents to a user. First, two modes
of navigation of the client are defined: a first, continuous navigation
mode, characterized by restricted movement among the contents, and a
second, discontinuous mode, characterized by unrestricted movement among
the contents. Then it is determined which mode of navigation the user is
currently using, and the utilization of client capacity is adapted based
on the currently used mode of navigation. In the first mode of
navigation, user action can be more easily anticipated, and the client
capacity can be used for improving the ongoing media consumption. In the
second mode of navigation, user action is more difficult to predict, and
client capacity may be needed for handling unexpected actions.
