How about the Coral Content Distribution Network [coralcdn.org]? All you need to do is append
.nyud.netto the hostname in your link and they’ll fetch the original address, cache it, and deliver it through whichever of the currently 260 participating servers is nearest to the client.It does increase latency for the first person to click the link, and they do drop infrequently requested stuff, so it’s not a panacea, but for URIs with a steady stream of requests, the service should help handily.

This is an excellent idea though, I should investigate further.
