oct8th - 1.31 build379

- Fixed connectivity bug if one of WebCaches is failing
- Bad webcaches removed from the code

Oct 9th , build 384

Connectivity algorithm changed:

#1. Initially we have X cache servers hardcoded (those turned out to be invalid are eliminated)

#2. When we need hosts to connect to we query them from randomly choosen cache server.

#3. If successful we try to connect to obtained hosts as well as query cache server for the list of alternative cache servers (if cached internal list is smaller than X items).
#3.1 If connection to cache server failed we eliminate it from our internal list and proceed to step #2.

#4. If hosts obtained from cache server are insufficient then proceed to step #2.
#4.1 Otherwise we have much fun.
