If you run a program an then close it, the second time you run it, it is a lot quicker to start. This is because (providing you have plenty of free physical memory) it keeps some of the code in memory.

Wait, I think I remember this (or something similar) from Mac OS Classic, but wasn't it considered bad because it ate up memory?

Is there anyway I can download all images at once? (For a single distro, of cource) I just dislike having to download 4 different files!   :mad:

Every OS has done this.  It's the disk cache.  Classic Mac never went above 8MB for that (well, that's what I saw in 8.6).  In DOS it was SmartDrive.

The original BitTorrent client is a little too lite. Azureus is much better (and more languages than just English) ;)

I see, I thought cache was only used for running programs. Thanks for the info.
