So I had this wacky idea. Let me give you a little background.

This year, we finally got Universal subs for all our developers. Unfortunately, IT tells us that for some screwy sales tax reasoning related to our volume license agreement, we can't get any media.

So, we're stuck downloading from Subscriber Downloads at the 30KB/s that our connection can muster. (In fact, most of us download things at home and bring them in, because even with the overnight stay at home, big downloads like the CTPs still finish faster than with our pathetic work connection.)

Here's my thought. Would it be possible to build a local server system that would keep itself synchronized with Subscriber Downloads? I know this wouldn't help with first day availability for new items, but it would keep our less-commonly-used tools up to date.
