If you seriously need to download conastantly from Carracho and other similar services it might be worth investing in a PCI beige powermac.
Basically give the machine a break from time to time to cool down.
He he, the funny thing is that the iMac is my wife's and is the one which is mainly used for e-mailing etc.
My Mac (was) a Sawtooth 400, but has just been upgraded to a MDD dual 1GHz, so I'm now trying to trade my Sawtooth for a beige G3 (+ money my way!!) because I want SCSI and a floppy... :o)
That's not hard with a G4, USB floppy, PCI SCSI (which is ludicrously cheap for older SCSI and faster than a G3) and you are done, all for about $50. Besides that G4 would make a much better server :).
My suggestion is, if you can stand the noise, that you use the G4 for downloads instead. Preferably in a cupboard at the other end of the house if my G3/400 is anything like it for noise :). If your G3/4 Tower is noisy take it apart and clean it, I quietened mine a lot doing that. There's no excuse for overworking your iMac when you have 2 other machines ;)
