Also, wouldn't it be of some use caching high-use high-media sites in off-peak hours (00:00-04:30 in my case) so any new images are already cached for the morning? On the link I use we have almost no activity between 6PM and 8AM, but between 8AM-6PM its heavily in use, when I started reading this thread I thought pre-caching sites at around 4AM, like the BBC, Sky News etc. would be of some use. Yes, I know these sites get updated regularly during the day, but at least some of the new content would be already in the cache.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Andy.
