Feasability
There may be some stolen ones around. But who in their right minds is going to pay for 2 gigs of hosting bandwidth (R50 per gig and upwards) for each gig you manage pull down?
Why then do ALL the BIG ISP's have these ????
SAIX Cache & Telkom DSL --sure there are IS ones as well
When I talk about a LOCAL PROXY I do NOT mean something like the "Great Late and Lamented".
I mean a Proxy locked to LOCAL-LIST
LOCAL bandwidth is meant to be CHEAP / FREE
WHY should we have such a thing

-- because ONE portal will over time be able to present all of Local-List via ONE IP address.
Here is another way to think of things --
ALL the major SAIX / TELKOM Proxies cache International -- BUT are situated in SA.
NOW I wonder -- if little Jonny Koekemoer who is a bit of a leecher and gets capped all the time was to access the International Proxy with a LOCAL only account
and
asked for something International that BY CHANCE happened to reside on the LOCAL Proxy.
COULD he be given that for which he seeks ?????
After all there must be GIGS & GIGS TERRAS and PENTAS on those Proxys -- all put there by uncapped users who Do use a Proxy.
IF you really want to look for a "Robin-Hood" THAT is where you will find him.
Those with some Brain-Power can work out the permutations.
"Staff-Reporter" has already shown that in -- SA --
STORAGE is cheaper than
BANDWIDTH
