And now the desktoplinux article has been slashdotted:

This may be a good time to mention the coral caching system. See 
<http://www.coralcdn.org/>. Basically, append ".nyud.net:8090" to the 
hostname part of any URL, and it's loaded through the cache. The coral 
folks are perfectly happy for people to publish URLs using that syntax.

So Steve, if your websites start getting slammed, this is a change you 
can make to your pages to alleviate that. I'm not sure if the cache will 
work for a file the size of the ISO, but lots of niche podcasts are 
distributed through coralized URLs.
