It holds in in ram. There are no temporary files anywhere... :(
The 4M is a recommended limit... It has to store downloaded files somewhere,
and ram is (supposedly) more efficient than disk....

The only problem we have had is that it returns a "Document contains no data"
message whenever you would normally get an error message. (ie if there is no
DNS entry etc....)
(This is running it on an extremely unloaded system) Nlanr runs it on
one of their caches which gets about 20000 hits/hour though.
It is also still at version 1.6 as far as I can see.
