People who find it slow could download a distribution to
a local directory. LDRAW tools should have a search path
that the user can edit, so local directories could be looked
at first.

Good point about testing. Mounting a drive (using whatever
technology you have available) across a slow link would
be a good way to test if the concept is acceptably fast.

But personally, I've always thought that a slow solution is
better than no solution.
