hi all,
i need some help on setting up caches for a p2p network, i know they need to run on unix or linux. but i need some software and guidance. if anyone is able to point me in the right direction then i would be grateful :D

I've had a quick look and caching seems to only be usefulif you are an ISP
You (the ISP) hold popular p2p files on a local server so your customers can retrieve the file without you having to pay for international traffic thus improving margins.
I don't really think mean this. An ISP shouldn't be asking these questions on Microsuck :P.
Are you thinking more of a p2p seed server ? That would be pretty simple to setup, I assume you have a spare machine for it ?
which p2p network are you thinking of (BitTorrent ?) because that will decide which application to use.
