You've got a good point...

But what it seems the person had said was that he placed copies of the
files/programs to be ftp'ed locally from his machine. If that's the case,
it's different than simply caching it; it's almost like creating an
unauthorized mirror.

I guess it's up to interpretation; if it's a result of caching I guess
we'd have no control of it, but I wouldn't store these files locally (not
as cached).
