Like here I am still on line during my brief modem session. I check lasttime, and sure enough, page X has already been downloaded. I want to take a quick look at it (to see if there is anything I want to click on there to also download before I close my modem session. You see, it is an index to news stories or search results.)
Well, clicking on it from lasttime would of course bring the page instantly infront of me if I was offline. However, since I am still online, yup, a fresh request it sent to the remote server, and the whole wait begins again. What's worse, if I don't want to stay connected ($), I risk causing a partial (re)download... Anyways, a simple solution would be turn on[/off] "don't rerequest already successfully downloaded things on lasttime if still online", however, don't go overboard with the special rules like leafnode... Yes, "the server should include an appropriate expires header", but anyway... Yes these are monitored pages. I do the same google and newspaper searches each day and then click on things I want.
