I never got into the Docker habit because I spent a lot of time behind a slow DSL connection.

Assuming it worked, I could wait a few hours to bring down an image for the the first time. Often I could get the job done in the time it takes to suck down the first image if "doing the job" could be done without Docker.

I never managed to use it enough that the images were in the cache when I needed them!

To make matters worse, unlike many systems that do big downloads (esp. BitTorrent) Docker is not reliable at doing large image downloads.

What people don't get is that the internet infrastructure is more expensive than they think because it is paid for in bits and pieces everywhere -- for instance it is an environment disaster that console games now come in 100 GB + downloads:
