Transparent proxy with Squid actually :)

But it doesn't happen under Windows with Mozilla.  Only Java installed 
is Sun's version, not Microsoft's version that they withdrew.

Even if it was downloading things, surely it would cache it and not 
download it every time anyway.  It did eventually load every time, but I 
tried it several times and never got any quicker.

It wasn't a network problem as I'm plugged directly into one of them 
which is currently sitting in my office about 4 metres from my desk.  
Happened with both of the 2524s that we have.
