Another question:

When linking to an external file, it appears the file is using twice the bandwidth I would expect.. First when its pulled from the external host, and then again when it goes through local_links on my host... is this by design?

That's probably right, as each file is read by the server and then re-written to the client. It's by design as part of the "anti leech" process. It is easy to change if necessary, but bandwidth is less of a concern for our site than theft.

On your earlier question, it's straightfoward to have alternating "alt1" and "alt2" bands in the link and category displays. A few lines of code (in get_linklistbit, etc) keep a variable in even/odd sequence, and the link and category templates have to be modified to use that variable when setting the style.
