We are planning to speed up the pg website by deploying a set of squid cache servers. The first experimental squid cache is now online at: http://de.cache.gutenberg.org This site should look and behave exactly the same as the original www.gutenberg.org site. This site caches all static pages from www.gutenberg.org like the /browse/* and /etext/* pages. It does not cache dynamic generated pages like your search results. It does not cache the etext files. If you are located in Western Europe (especially Germany) you should notice some speed improvement over www.gutenberg.org. (This of course will be marginal unless a considerable number of people start using it.) This url is for testing only and will be removed once testing is complete, so don't publish this url on other web sites. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
