This is perfect then... If you are scheduled to meet in a sim later in the week, then why worry if all the static objects take a day to download from that sim through archaic usenet means. You would already have all the object information needed for physics and to render in a local storage.
By the time everybody meets, there would be no lag to suddenly download all objects from a single host. Times that by 10,000 people... just for scalability concerns.
