Hi,
I've been looking into optimizing some page loads and have found that the sharethis widget takes quite a long time to load (relatively speaking). To be precise, the connection trip to get the initial javascript at http://w.sharethis.com/widget/xxxxx and the subsequent sharethis.css that gets retrieved from that script takes a long time for me.
Thus, my question is, is it ok or legal to just get those two files and host them locally? Therefore, saving my connection time to sharethis.com. Note, I understand that doing it this way will have the adverse affect of my sharethis widget not always being up to the date with the latest and greatest offered from sharethis, but I think I can live with it provided I check manually every once in a while and update my two files accordingly.
I am just worried that taking those two files and hosting them locally is not within the terms of service.
