One of our IT people was working on a Dropbox proxy before he left, but he gave no information about what he was doing.
What we want to do is have some sort of proxy on our server that allows users on the network to download Dropbox files from the proxy instead of the cloud. We're trying to fix a problem where one person will upload a file through Dropbox, and then everyone else in the network slams the router trying to download that file from Dropbox at the same time.
Would a peer-to-peer solution (like AeroFS, I believe) work better in this case?

Dropbox LAN Sync is what you want to enable.
