Which is the most resilient web browser?

I have a problem with the existing web browsers that I use such as Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer (I do not use Chrome)
While browsing on a flaky internet connection or trying to browse while also running a torrent client, they generally fail to load all the individual items in a web page. They may succeed in getting the basic frame completely sometimes but other times they may get a part of the webpage and its constituents while missing the rest of it altogether.

It is somewhat akin to downloading large files on a dial-up. You pray that it will complete but disaster may strike anytime.

I am looking for a relentless browser that will not rest unless it has all the components required to completely display the webpage as its original creators intended no matter how many retries it takes.

Is there any such browser?

Opera used to retrieve all the components first and then display the webpage. I switched to chrome about 5 years back and haven't found a better browser than chrome. FF is a resource hog and IE, well its IE

Google chrome FTW :-D

Opera and Chrome are both based on the same engine now.

OK. So I dug around and discovered that an old tweak of enabling http pipelining works to some extent in achieving my goal. (I used to do this such a long time ago in all new profiles of Firefox but thought it was now a days enabled by default)

Enabling http pipelining seems to cause the text content of the webpage to download fully at least and then get the images. In this manner the webpage is at least useful even when not complete.
