I remember reading something about that and how that feature frees up bandwidth on the server. I'm not too sure the details since I didn't pay much attention.

Check Google for ip blocking Windows Vista.
It can be that much different.

I've been having this caching issue now for quite some time and it is irritating as hell. I'll apply the fix when I get home.

Thanks Mike!
