Hey guys...

Why do you doubt Google's reasons for pulling it? Remember, Gmail was invite only - that controlled the pace that people could sign up and tax their servers.

Web proxy's use MUCH more bandwidth and CPU power than web email. Think about it. To make caching worth it, you have supply reliable bandwidth for each person at the speed of each person's connection, and you have to cache all that data.

For all we know they could have pulled it because the server's were getting tax'd to the point where it was more of a web-decelerator!

I think Google froze new downloads, not because of the fact it was beta, but because it wasn't a useful product for broadband and because many users saw serious security issues.
I think I am going to have to agree. Interesting how Google never got too many beta users for gmail or any of their many other beta services.
