The description to David McNicol’s URL Cache Plugin raises more questions than it answers:
Given a URL, the url_cache() function will attempt to download the file it represents and return a URL pointing to this locally cached version.

Work on bsuite3 is progressing well, thanks to help from Zach and Matt, who are collaborating with me on completely rearchitecting how stats are collected and reported. This, however, is not bs3. It’s a transitional release intended to fix some bugs in b2 and make upgrading easier. This upgrade is recommended for all current bsuite [...]
