Right. At first, you might want to grab only a day or two, to verify
that Rex at least works for you. Everything is cached, so there's no
need to ever re-fetch data.

Sorry for the slow download rate, but I don't want to strain those web
servers any more than we have to. I figure after the initial cache fill,
the rate should be fast enough for most people to not notice.

Thanks, I'll look at that.

Yeah... my initial thought was to write something like a shared proxy,
where you could benefit from other people's caches. But that is possibly
crossing the line into distribution of copyrighted material.
