At first i thought this was a good idea, but then i thought about what would
happen
if one of my friends gets busted and he had no FDE in use. To my knwoledge
there ist
no builtin encryption in Alliances storage, so a file cache is not a good idea.

Well for one, we do not support illegal file sharing. If you're assuming we add
features for such uses then you're surly mistaken.
Second, Your friend has more problems to deal with then just cache if he's not
using
an FDE. Files he downloads are on the computer regardless of whether or not he's
using Alliance. There's also the localized database (H2) that Alliance uses that
holds the file info and locations to the files on the computer.
Your post made me realize something though. Caches that your client saves
should be
cleared when you shut Alliance down since there's no telling if those files will
change from the time you sign off to the time you come back.
Also when viewing that folder or file(s) again, Alliance should re-cache any
new or
modified content. Caches should also expire after a set number of hours. I
suppose it
might be best to make the cache time an option similar to web browsers.

Sure, the busted friend has the problem, but if you implement offline file
caches all
other people on his network will have the same problem a few days later ... .

Ok, it depends on how you implement it ...

Again Alliance is not for illegal file sharing. If you're that scared then just
encrypted the whole damn folder Alliance is in and stop worrying about it.
FYI. assuming your friend is caught for illegal file sharing, which is highly
unlikely unless he's not using Alliance as intended, the authorities could just
turn
alliance on and browse all his friends folders anyway. So your point about
cache is moot.
Also, like I mentioned in my last post in the 3rd block of text, offline cache
is bad
anyway.
