I don't agree. The current cache system barely works: it caches on  
the order of one percent of the content it needs to for anyone on a  
high latency or low bandwidth link, and it has a high enough overhead  
that for a low latency high bandwidth link just redownloading can be  
faster than the current cache... which is allegedly one reason it's  
limited to 1GB.
