Cache
 

I am gonna implement a gnutella-like servent as part of a project.
I was thinking that to lessen free-loading
would it be worthwile to have a cache per-user in which the servent would automatically download say 5 or 10MB of popular searches?
This would serve to increase the number of mirrors for a particular file. Also it would lessen the load on the high bw servents.
Any suggestions on this?
I dont think I will have to brk the basic protocol for this.
