Is there anyone who has access to the Apache config who could add this?

Would including the wc rev in the filename be easy to do?

I'm using Firefox 1.0.2.

4MB/s. Hardly noticeable, I'd say.

Maybe you do not download nightlies often enough, or your cache is
smaller than mine, and it happens to be flushed before you next try a
download?

I'm not, Peter might be.
I just checked Firefox' behaviour using a HTTP sniffer.
When the .MSI is in Firefox's cache, the browser doesn't even contact
the HTTP server to check if the file has been modified; thus proxying
has nothing to do with it.
