well, I didn't mean to eliminate the cache policies by using "instead", I
mean using them similar for this purpose, whatever basicly we say the same
I guess, or meant at least :)

there did exist some p2p cache projects and software which died because of
troubles with author/owner rights of the cached content which could be
interpreted as redistribution or something, seems a dutch network had a
good product

absolutely, no need to convince me, I am working with cache for that
reasons, I brought it up because I believe I can understand the reasons
why people are not so in it anymore

tell me about ... we pay US$700-900 for each 2Mbit/s ... and now you know
why we are poor because we get milked dry by everyone :)

yep, definitly people with great ideas are the owners of the present
future and seems you will continue working on cache projects and I hope
you make very much money with all that so you might have more *time* in
the future :)
