As noted in some of the other posts, Video Cache can actually use more bandwidth than it saves because everything is feteched once by the client and also again by the Video Cache program. Since most videos from youtube, etc.. are probably only viewed once then this leads to a bandwidth loss. We are working in an ISP environment and I would say that that 95% of videos are only viewed once, just users browsing endless and random youtube stuff. 5% of videos are "popular" and viewed many many times. Is it possible to modify Video Cache to only retrieve videos that have been requested more than once? This is based on the assumption that anything that has been requested twice will probably be requested a few more times. ie. The first time a video is requested it goes on a "has been requested list", the next time a video is requested, if it is found on the "has been requested list" then it is queued for download.
