I use my vhttp: protocol handler to cache, locally, downloadable codebase jars 
to speed thing up when there are lots of services to find and/or limited 
bandwidth.  One of the features of this protocol handler is that it logs any 
failure to download something.  It is amazing how helpful this kind of logging 
is for debugging codebase server issues.  It is the first sign of an incorrect 
hostname on a new server etc.
