I've never really understood why the browser makers don't build this in at the browser cache level. Lots of people work in offices and end up sharing links, it could be a massive saving for everybody.
- fidz 13y agoBrowser shouldn't share its cache, except it can also deal with privacy issue.
- nextw33k 13y agoNot a great deal of privacy problems, SSL content is excluded by default and you are just asking local peers if they have a binary matching a SHA hash. The privacy leak might be that you are surfing the net when you should be working, however a firewall could give you that same amount of information anyway.
- parbo 13y agoOffices often have caching proxies, right?
- nextw33k 13y agoGod no, nearly every caching proxy I have seen installed has been ripped out because they break the Internet in some annoying way. What I am suggesting is a P2P self managing cache which isn't going to mangle Internet packets. Having single points of failure is bad design in my view.
