We have gotten reports of similar behaviour for Patrick and I did some testing around caching on web apps and I know he's fixed a couple of issues there that seems to have helped quite a bit on some of the apps. > a while but never enough data to see why it is broken.

Yes, the lack of mirrors is an issue there, not sure how we can deal with that. There's a transit issue between some providers in Aus which doesn't help. Works fine on Telstra and another ISP and then completely fails on others which is not a great user experience. Let me know if there's any specific testing I can help with while I'm here.
