But then you could just download a 300 GB cache, and then just quit paying... Oh wait, its free, never mind.

Seriously, I have never gotten an answer about the cache size, but I am suspicious that there are performance issues. maybe some internal program aspect that is just hard to upgrade.

I became interested when I was giving club presentations at places with (gasp!) no broadband connection. Most of those places have been abandoned, or connected, so I somewhat lost interest.

With no known exceptions, the cost of internal trust, efficiency and loyalty is external distrust. The "us against them" is not an optional feature, if there were some way to preserve the loyalties and the tremendous benefits of internal trust without paying the cost of the ferocious xenophobia, then that would be just what we want to do. But we don't know how to do that.
